2 Kings 15 — TOJB

15Verse 1In the 27th shanah of Yarov'am Melech Yisroel began Azaryah Ben Amatzyah Melech Yehudah to reign as melech.^{Verse 2}16 years old was he when he began to reign as melech, and he reigned 52 shanah in Yerushalayim. And shem immo was Yekholyahu of Yerushalayim.^{Verse 3}And he did that which was yashar in the eyes of Hashem, according to all that Amatzyah aviv had done;^{Verse 4}However the⁺high places were not removed; the people offered zevakhim and burned ketoret still on the⁺high places.^{Verse 5}And Hashem plagued HaMelech, so that he was metzorah unto his yom mot, and dwelt in a bais hachafeshit (separate house, leper asylum house). And Yotam Ben HaMelech was over the Bais (Palace), shofet (governing) the Am HaAretz.^{Verse 6}And the rest of the acts of Azaryah, and all that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yehudah?^{Verse 7}So Azaryah slept with his avot; and they buried him with his avot in Ir Dovid; Yotam bno reigned in his place.^{Verse 8}In the 38th year of Azaryah Melech Yehudah did Zecharyah Ben Yarov'am reign as melech over Yisroel in Shomron six months.^{Verse 9}And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem, just as his avot had done; he departed not from the chattot Yarov'am Ben Nevat, who caused Yisroel to commit sin.^{Verse 10}And Shallum Ben Yavesh plotted a kesher against him, and attacked him in front of the people, and assassinated him, and reigned as melech in his place.^{Verse 11}And the rest of the acts of Zecharyah, behold, they are written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yisroel.^{Verse 12}This was the Devar Hashem which He spoke unto Yehu, saying, Thy banim shall sit on the kisse Yisroel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.^{+Verse 13}Shallum Ben Yavesh began to reign as melech in the nine and thirtieth year of Uziyah Melech Yehudah; and he reigned for one month in Shomron.^{Verse 14}For Menachem Ben Gadi went up from Tirtzah, and came to Shomron, and attacked Shallum Ben Yavesh in Shomron, and assassinated him, and reigned as melech in his place.^{Verse 15}And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his kesher he plotted, behold, they are written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yisroel.^{Verse 16}Then from Tirtzah Menachem attacked Tiphsach, and all that were therein, and the surrounding area; because they opened not to him, therefore he sacked it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped open.^{Verse 17}In the nine and thirtieth year of Azaryah Melech Yehudah began Menachem Ben Gadi to reign as melech over Yisroel, and reigned ten shanim in Shomron.^{Verse 18}And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem; he departed not all his yamim from the chattot Yarov'am Ben Nevat, who caused Yisroel to commit sin.^{Verse 19}And Pul Melech Ashur (Assyria) came against HaAretz and Menachem gave Pul a thousand talents of kesef, that his yad might be with him,⁺to make the Mamlakhah chazakah in his yad.^{Verse 20}And Menachem exacted the kesef from Yisroel, even of all the wealthy Gibborim, of each man fifty shekels of kesef, to give to Melech Ashur. So Melech Ashur withdrew and stayed not there in HaAretz.^{Verse 21}And the rest of the acts of Menachem, and all that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yisroel?^{Verse 22}And Menachem slept with his avot; and Pekachyah bno reigned as melech in his place.^{Verse 23}In the fiftieth year of Azaryah Melech Yehudah, Pekachyah Ben Menachem began to reign as melech over Yisroel in Shomron, and reigned two shanim.^{Verse 24}And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem; he departed not from the chattot Yarov'am Ben Nevat, who caused Yisroel to commit sin.^{Verse 25}But Pekach Ben Remalyahu, his officer, plotted a kesher against him, and assassinated him in Shomron, in the armon Bais Melech (citadel of the palace of the king), with Argov and Aryeh, and with him chamishim ish (fifty men) of the Bnei Gil'adim; and he killed him, and reigned as melech in his place.^{Verse 26}And the rest of the acts of Pekachyah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yisroel.^{Verse 27}In the two and fiftieth year of Azaryah Melech Yehudah, Pekach Ben Remalyahu began to reign as melech over Yisroel in Shomron, and reigned twenty shanah.^{Verse 28}And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem; he departed not from the chattot Yarov'am Ben Nevat, who caused Yisroel to commit sin.^{Verse 29}In the days of Pekach Melech Yisroel came Tiglat Pileser Melech Ashur (Assyria), and took Iyon, and Abel Beit-Ma'achah, and Yanoach, and Kedesh, and Chatzor, and Gil'ad, and the Galil, all the Eretz Naphtali, and carried them away into the Golus of Assyria.^{Verse 30}And Hoshea Ben Elah plotted a kesher against Pekach Ben Remalyahu, attacked him, assassinated him, and reigned as melech in his place, in the 20th year of Yotam Ben Uziyah.^{Verse 31}And the rest of the acts of Pekach, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yisroel.^{Verse 32}In the second year of Pekach Ben Remalyahu Melech Yisroel began Yotam Ben Uziyah Melech Yehudah to reign as melech.^{Verse 33}25 old was he when he began to reign as melech, and he reigned 16 shanah in Yerushalayim. And shem immo was Yerusha Bat Tzadok.^{Verse 34}And he did that which was yashar in the eyes of Hashem; he did according to all that Uziyah aviv had done.^{Verse 35}Howbeit the⁺high places were not removed; the people offered zevakhim and burned ketoret still in the high places. He rebuilt the Sha'ar Beis Hashem HaElyon.^{Verse 36}Now the rest of the acts of Yotam, and all that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yehudah?^{Verse 37}In those days Hashem began to send against Yehudah Retzin Melech Aram, and Pekach Ben Remalyahu.^{Verse 38}And Yotam slept with his avot, and was buried with his avot in Ir Dovid aviv; and Achaz bno reigned as melech in his place.
