2 Kings 15:29-38 ▼

29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and seized Ijon, and Abel-beth-maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and he removed them to Assyria.

30 And Hoshea son of Elah bound a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah, and he struck him and killed him. And he reigned in his place in the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah.

31 And the rest of the acts of Pekah and all that he did, behold, they are written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Israel.

32 In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah became king.

33 He was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and sixteen years he reigned in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Jerusha daughter of Zadok.

34 And he did right in the eyes of YHWH. According to all that Uzziah his father had done, he did.

35 However, the high places were not removed; still the people sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. He built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH.

36 And the rest of the acts of Jotham and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Judah?

37 (In those days YHWH began to send against Judah Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah.)

38 And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. And Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
