26. And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

27. In the year fifty-two of Azariah, king of Judah, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, began to reign over Israel in Samaria and reigned twenty years.

28. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

29. In the days of Pekah, king of Israel, came Tiglathpileser, king of Assyria, and took Ijon, Abelbethmaachah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali and carried them captive to Assyria.

30. And Hosea, the son of Elah, made a conspiracy against Pekah, the son of Remaliah, and smote him and slew him and reigned in his stead, in the year twenty of Jotham, the son of Uzziah.

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

33. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

34. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

35. With all this, the high places were not removed; the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the Lord.

36. Now the rest of the acts of Jotham and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
