15:1 In the twenty 6242 8141 and seventh 7651 year 8141 of Jeroboam 3379 king 4428 of Israel 3478 began Azariah 5838 son 1121 of Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063 to reign 4427 8804.

15:2 Sixteen 8337 6240 years 8141 old 1121 was he when he began to reign 4427 8800, and he reigned 4427 8804 two 8147 and fifty 2572 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389. And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Jecholiah 3203 of Jerusalem 3389.

15:3 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, according to all that his father 1 Amaziah 558 had done 6213 8804;

15:4 Save that the high places 1116 were not removed 5493 8804: the people 5971 sacrificed 2076 8764 and burnt incense 6999 8764 still on the high places 1116.

15:5 And the LORD 3068 smote 5060 8762 the king 4428, so that he was a leper 6879 8794 unto the day 3117 of his death 4194, and dwelt 3427 8799 in a several 2669 house 1004. And Jotham 3147 the king's 4428 son 1121 [was] over the house 1004, judging 8199 8802 the people 5971 of the land 776.

15:6 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Azariah 5838, and all that he did 6213 8804, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

15:7 So Azariah 5838 slept 7901 8799 with his fathers 1; and they buried 6912 8799 him with his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David 1732: and Jotham 3147 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.

15:8 In the thirty 7970 8141 and eighth 8083 year 8141 of Azariah 5838 king 4428 of Judah 3063 did Zachariah 2148 the son 1121 of Jeroboam 3379 reign 4427 8804 over Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111 six 8337 months 2320.

15:9 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, as his fathers 1 had done 6213 8804: he departed 5493 8804 not from the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, who made Israel 3478 to sin 2398 8689.

15:10 And Shallum 7967 the son 1121 of Jabesh 3003 conspired 7194 8799 against him, and smote 5221 8686 him before 6905 the people 5971, and slew 4191 8686 him, and reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.

15:11 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Zachariah 2148, behold, they [are] written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478.

15:12 This [was] the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 which he spake 1696 8765 unto Jehu 3058, saying 559 8800, Thy sons 1121 shall sit 3427 8799 on the throne 3678 of Israel 3478 unto the fourth 7243 [generation]. And so it came to pass.

15:13 Shallum 7967 the son 1121 of Jabesh 3003 began to reign 4427 8804 in the nine 8672 and thirtieth 7970 year 8141 of Uzziah 5818 king 4428 of Judah 3063; and he reigned 4427 8799 a full 3117 month 3391 in Samaria 8111.(Uzziah: Gr. Ozias)(a full…: Heb. a month of days)

15:14 For Menahem 4505 the son 1121 of Gadi 1424 went up 5927 8799 from Tirzah 8656, and came 935 8799 to Samaria 8111, and smote 5221 8686 Shallum 7967 the son 1121 of Jabesh 3003 in Samaria 8111, and slew 4191 8686 him, and reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.

15:15 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Shallum 7967, and his conspiracy 7195 which he made 7194 8804, behold, they [are] written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478.

15:16 Then Menahem 4505 smote 5221 8686 Tiphsah 8607, and all that [were] therein, and the coasts 1366 thereof from Tirzah 8656: because they opened 6605 8804 not [to him], therefore he smote 5221 8686 [it; and] all the women therein that were with child 2030 he ripped up 1234 8765.

15:17 In the nine 8672 8141 and thirtieth 7970 year 8141 of Azariah 5838 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Menahem 4505 the son 1121 of Gadi 1424 to reign 4427 8804 over Israel 3478, [and reigned] ten 6235 years 8141 in Samaria 8111.

15:18 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068: he departed 5493 8804 not all his days 3117 from the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, who made Israel 3478 to sin 2398 8689.

15:19 [And] Pul 6322 the king 4428 of Assyria 804 came 935 8804 against the land 776: and Menahem 4505 gave 5414 8799 Pul 6322 a thousand 505 talents 3603 of silver 3701, that his hand 3027 might be with him to confirm 2388 8687 the kingdom 4467 in his hand 3027.

15:20 And Menahem 4505 exacted 3318 8686 the money 3701 of Israel 3478, [even] of all the mighty men 1368 of wealth 2428, of each 259 man 376 fifty 2572 shekels 8255 of silver 3701, to give 5414 8800 to the king 4428 of Assyria 804. So the king 4428 of Assyria 804 turned back 7725 8799, and stayed 5975 8804 not there in the land 776.(exacted: Heb. caused to come forth)

15:21 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Menahem 4505, and all that he did 6213 8804, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?

15:22 And Menahem 4505 slept 7901 8799 with his fathers 1; and Pekahiah 6494 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.

15:23 In the fiftieth 2572 8141 year 8141 of Azariah 5838 king 4428 of Judah 3063 Pekahiah 6494 the son 1121 of Menahem 4505 began to reign 4427 8804 over Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111, [and reigned] two years 8141.

15:24 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068: he departed 5493 8804 not from the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, who made Israel 3478 to sin 2398 8689.

15:25 But Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425, a captain 7991 of his, conspired 7194 8799 against him, and smote 5221 8686 him in Samaria 8111, in the palace 759 of the king's 4428 house 1004, with Argob 709 and Arieh 745, and with him fifty 2572 men 376 of the Gileadites 1121 1569: and he killed 4191 8686 him, and reigned 4427 8799 in his room.

15:26 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Pekahiah 6494, and all that he did 6213 8804, behold, they [are] written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478.

15:27 In the two 8147 8141 and fiftieth 2572 year 8141 of Azariah 5838 king 4428 of Judah 3063 Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425 began to reign 4427 8804 over Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111, [and reigned] twenty 6242 years 8141.

15:28 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068: he departed 5493 8804 not from the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, who made Israel 3478 to sin 2398 8689.

15:29 In the days 3117 of Pekah 6492 king 4428 of Israel 3478 came 935 8804 Tiglathpileser 8407 king 4428 of Assyria 804, and took 3947 8799 Ijon 5859, and Abelbethmaachah 62, and Janoah 3239, and Kedesh 6943, and Hazor 2674, and Gilead 1568, and Galilee 1551, all the land 776 of Naphtali 5321, and carried them captive 1540 8686 to Assyria 804.

15:30 And Hoshea 1954 the son 1121 of Elah 425 made 7194 8799 a conspiracy 7195 against Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425, and smote 5221 8686 him, and slew 4191 8686 him, and reigned 4427 8799 in his stead, in the twentieth 6242 year 8141 of Jotham 3147 the son 1121 of Uzziah 5818.

15:31 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Pekah 6492, and all that he did 6213 8804, behold, they [are] written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478.

15:32 In the second 8147 year 8141 of Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425 king 4428 of Israel 3478 began Jotham 3147 the son 1121 of Uzziah 5818 king 4428 of Judah 3063 to reign 4427 8804.

15:33 Five 2568 and twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 was he when he began to reign 4427 8800, and he reigned 4427 8804 sixteen 8337 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389. And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Jerusha 3388, the daughter 1323 of Zadok 6659.

15:34 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068: he did 6213 8804 according to all that his father 1 Uzziah 5818 had done 6213 8804.

15:35 Howbeit the high places 1116 were not removed 5493 8804: the people 5971 sacrificed 2076 8764 and burned incense 6999 8764 still in the high places 1116. He built 1129 8804 the higher 5945 gate 8179 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

15:36 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jotham 3147, and all that he did 6213 8804, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

15:37 In those days 3117 the LORD 3068 began 2490 8689 to send 7971 8687 against Judah 3063 Rezin 7526 the king 4428 of Syria 758, and Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425.

15:38 And Jotham 3147 slept 7901 8799 with his fathers 1, and was buried 6912 8735 with his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David 1732 his father 1: and Ahaz 271 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.
