1 In die sewe en twintigste jaar van Jerobeam, die koning van Israel, het As rja, die seun van Am sia, die koning van Juda, koning geword.
2 Hy was sestien jaar oud toe hy koning geword het, en twee en vyftig jaar het hy in Jerusalem geregeer; en die naam van sy moeder was Jegolja, van Jerusalem.
3 En hy het gedoen wat reg was in die oë van die HERE, net soos sy vader Am sia gedoen het.
4 Net die hoogtes is nie afgeskaf nie; die volk het nog geoffer en op die hoogtes rook laat opgaan.
5 En die HERE het die koning aangetas, sodat hy melaats was tot die dag van sy dood toe; en hy het in 'n afgesonderde huis gewoon, terwyl Jotam, die seun van die koning, oor die paleis was en reg gespreek het oor die volk van die land.
6 En die verdere geskiedenis van As rja en alles wat hy gedoen het, is dit nie beskrywe in die Kroniekboek van die konings van Juda nie?
7 En As rja het ontslaap met sy vaders, en hy is begrawe by sy vaders in die stad van Dawid; en sy seun Jotam het in sy plek koning geword.
8 In die agt en dertigste jaar van As rja, die koning van Juda, het Sagar¡a, die seun van Jerobeam, oor Israel koning geword in Samar¡a -- ses maande lank.
9 En hy het gedoen wat verkeerd was in die oë van die HERE soos sy vaders gedoen het; hy het nie afgewyk van die sondes van Jerobeam, die seun van Nebat, wat Israel laat sondig het nie.
10 En Sallum, die seun van Jabes, het 'n sameswering teen hom gesmee en hom voor die oë van die volk verslaan en hom gedood en in sy plek koning geword.
11 En die verdere geskiedenis van Sagar¡a, kyk, dit is beskrywe in die Kroniekboek van die konings van Israel.
12 Dit was die woord van die HERE wat Hy tot Jehu gespreek het, naamlik: Seuns van die vierde geslag sal vir jou op die troon van Israel sit. En dit was so.
13 Sallum, die seun van Jabes, het in die nege en dertigste jaar van Uss¡a, die koning van Juda, koning geword en 'n maand lank in Samar¡a geregeer.
14 Daarna het Men hem, die seun van Gadi, van Tirsa opgetrek en in Samar¡a gekom en Sallum, die seun van Jabes, in Samar¡a verslaan en hom gedood en in sy plek koning geword.
15 En die verdere geskiedenis van Sallum en sy sameswering wat hy gesmee het, kyk, dit is beskrywe in die Kroniekboek van die konings van Israel.
16 Toe het Men hem Tifsag verslaan met almal wat daarin was, en die grondgebied daarvan, van Tirsa af; omdat hulle nie vir hom oopgemaak het nie; hy het dit verslaan en al die swanger vroue daarvan laat oopsny.
17 In die nege en dertigste jaar van As rja, die koning van Juda, het Men hem, die seun van Gadi, koning oor Israel geword in Samar¡a -- tien jaar lank.
18 En hy het gedoen wat verkeerd was in die oë van die HERE; hy het al sy dae nie afgewyk van die sondes van Jerobeam, die seun van Nebat, wat Israel laat sondig het nie.
19 Pul, die koning van Assirië, het die land oorval, en Men hem het aan Pul duisend talente silwer gegee, dat sy hande met hom sou wees om die koningskap in sy hand te versterk.
20 En Men hem het oor Israel, al die persone van vermoë, die geld verdeel om dit aan die koning van Assirië te gee: vyftig sikkels silwer vir elke man; toe het die koning van Assirië omgedraai en nie daar in die land gebly nie.
21 En die verdere geskiedenis van Men hem en alles wat hy gedoen het, is dit nie beskrywe in die Kroniekboek van die konings van Israel nie?
22 En Men hem het ontslaap met sy vaders, en sy seun Pek hia het in sy plek koning geword.
23 In die vyftigste jaar van As rja, die koning van Juda, het Pek hia, die seun van Men hem, koning oor Israel geword in Samar¡a -- twee jaar lank.
24 En hy het gedoen wat verkeerd was in die oë van die HERE; hy het nie afgewyk van die sondes van Jerobeam, die seun van Nebat, wat Israel laat sondig het nie.
25 En Peka, die seun van Rem lia, sy adjudant, het 'n sameswering teen hom gesmee en hom in Samar¡a in die vesting van die koning se huis verslaan saam met Argob en met Arje; en vyftig man uit die kinders van die Gileadiete was saam met hom; en hy het hom gedood en in sy plek koning geword.
26 En die verdere geskiedenis van Pek hia en alles wat hy gedoen het, kyk, dit is beskrywe in die Kroniekboek van die konings van Israel.
27 In die twee en vyftigste jaar van As rja, die koning van Juda, het Peka, die seun van Rem lia, koning geword oor Israel in Samar¡a -- twintig jaar lank.
28 En hy het gedoen wat verkeerd was in die oë van die HERE; hy het nie afgewyk van die sondes van Jerobeam, die seun van Nebat, wat Israel laat sondig het nie.
29 In die dae van Peka, die koning van Israel, het Tiglat-Pil,ser, die koning van Assirië, gekom en Ijon ingeneem en Abel-Bet-M äga en Janoag en Kedes en Hasor en G¡lead en Galil,a, die hele land N ftali; en hy het hulle in ballingskap weggevoer na Assirië toe.
30 En Hos,a, die seun van Ela, het 'n sameswering gesmee teen Peka, die seun van Rem lia, en hom verslaan en hom gedood en in sy plek koning geword, in die twintigste jaar van Jotam, die seun van Uss¡a.
31 En die verdere geskiedenis van Peka en alles wat hy gedoen het, kyk, dit is beskrywe in die Kroniekboek van die konings van Israel.
32 In die tweede jaar van Peka, die seun van Rem lia, die koning van Israel, het Jotam, die seun van Uss¡a, die koning van Juda, koning geword.
33 Vyf en twintig jaar was hy oud toe hy koning geword het, en sestien jaar het hy in Jerusalem geregeer; en die naam van sy moeder was Jerusa, die dogter van Sadok.
34 En hy het gedoen wat reg was in die oë van die HERE; net soos sy vader Uss¡a gedoen het, het hy gedoen.
35 Net die hoogtes is nie afgeskaf nie; die volk het nog op die hoogtes geoffer en rook laat opgaan; dit is hy wat die Boonste Poort van die huis van die HERE gebou het.
36 En die verdere geskiedenis van Jotam en alles wat hy gedoen het, is dit nie beskrywe in die Kroniekboek van die konings van Juda nie?
37 In die dae het die HERE Resin, die koning van Aram, en Peka, die seun van Rem lia, teen Juda begin stuur.
38 En Jotam het ontslaap met sy vaders en is begrawe by sy vaders in die stad van sy vader Dawid; en sy seun Agas het in sy plek koning geword.
1 In the twenty-seventh year of the rule of Jeroboam, king of Israel, Azariah, son of Amaziah, became king of Judah.
2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.
4 But he did not take away the high places, and the people still went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
5 And the Lord sent disease on the king and he became a leper, and to the day of his death he was living separately in his private house. And Jotham his son was over his house, judging the people of the land.
6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
7 And Azariah went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Jotham his son became king in his place.
8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azaliah, king of Judah, Zechariah, son of Jeroboam, was king over Israel for six months.
9 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father had done, not turning away from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
10 And Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made a secret design against him, and, attacking him in Ibleam, put him to death and became king in his place.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
12 This was what the Lord had said to Jehu, Your sons to the fourth generation will be kings of Israel. And so it came about.
13 Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became king in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah, king of Judah; and he was ruling in Samaria for the space of one month.
14 Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah and came to Samaria, and attacking Shallum, son of Jabesh, in Samaria, put him to death and made himself king in his place.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and the secret design which he made, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
16 Then Menahem sent destruction on Tappuah and all the people in it, and its limits, from Tirzah, because they would not let him come in; and he had all the women who were with child cut open.
17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah, king of Judah, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became king over Israel, and was ruling in Samaria for ten years.
18 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not keep himself from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
19 In his day, Pul, the king of Assyria, came up against the land; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver so that he might let him keep the kingdom.
20 And Menahem got the money from Israel, from all the men of wealth, fifty silver shekels from every man, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria went back without stopping in the land.
21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
22 And Menahem went to rest with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son became king in his place.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah, the son of Menahem, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for two years.
24 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
25 And Pekah, the son of Remaliah, his captain, made a secret design against him, attacking him in the king's great house in Samaria; and with him were fifty men of Gilead; and he put him to death and became king in his place.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all he did, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah, king of Judah, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for twenty years.
28 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
29 In the days of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, came and took Ijon and Abel-beth-maacah and Janoah and Kedesh and Hazor and Gilead and Galilee and all the land of Naphtali; and he took the people away to Assyria.
30 And Hoshea, the son of Elah, made a secret design against Pekah, the son of Remaliah, and, attacking him, put him to death and became king in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham, the son of Uzziah.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all he did, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
32 In the second year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, Jotham, the son of Uzziah, became king of Judah.
33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
34 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done.
35 But he did not take away the high places, and the people still went on making offerings and burning them in the high places. He was the builder of the higher doorway of the house of the Lord.
36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
37 In those days the Lord first sent against Judah, Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah.
38 And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
