1 In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign. 2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done; 4 Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
5 And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the house, judging the people of the land. 6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 7 So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
8 In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months. 9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 11 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 12 This was the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.
13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria. 14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
16 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up. 17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria. 18 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 19 And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. 20 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
21 And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 22 And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years. 24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 25 But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room. 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 two and fiftieth year 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 departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria. 30 And Hoshea 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 twentieth year of Jotham the 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 chronicles of the kings of Israel.
32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign. 33 Five and twenty years old was he 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 Howbeit 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? 37 In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah. 38 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
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.
