2 Kings 15

1In the seven and twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, reigned Azarias, son of Amasias, king of Juda.

1In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned hath Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah,

2He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia, of Jerusalem.

2a son of sixteen years was he in his reigning, and fifty and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother <FI>is<Fi> Jecholiah of Jerusalem,

3And he did that which was pleasing before the Lord, according to all that his father, Amasias, had done.

3and he doth that which <FI>is<Fi> right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Amaziah his father did,

4But the high places he did not destroy, for the people sacrificed, and burnt incense in the high places.

4only, the high places have not turned aside--yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.

5And the Lord struck the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a free house apart: but Joatham, the king's son, governed the palace, and judged the people of the land.

5And Jehovah smiteth the king, and he is a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelleth in a separate house, and Jotham son of the king <FI>is<Fi> over the house, judging the people of the land.

6And the rest of the acts of Azarias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

6And the rest of the matters of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

8In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah reigned hath Zechariah son of Jeroboam over Israel, in Samaria, six months,

9And he did that which is evil before the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.

9and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did his fathers, he hath not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin.

10And Sellum, the son of Jabes, conspired against him: and struck him publicly, and killed him, and reigned in his place.

12It <FI>is<Fi> the word of Jehovah that He spake unto Jehu, saying, `Sons of the fourth <FI>generation<Fi> do sit for thee on the throne of Israel;' and it is so.

16Then doth Menahem smite Tiphsah, and all who <FI>are<Fi> in it, and its borders from Tirzah, for it opened not <FI>to him<Fi> , and he smiteth <FI>it<Fi> , all its pregnant women he hath ripped up.

18And he doth the evil in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath turned not aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin, all his days.

19And Phul, king of the Assyrians, came into the land, and Manahem gave Phul a thousand talents of silver to aid him and to establish him in the kingdom.

19Pul king of Asshur hath come against the land, and Menahem giveth to Pul a thousand talents of silver, for his hand being with him to strengthen the kingdom in his hand.

20And Manahem laid a tax upon Israel, on all that were mighty and rich, to give the king of the Assyrians, each man fifty sicles of silver: so the king of the Assyrians turned back, and did not stay in the land.

20And Menahem bringeth out the silver <FI>from<Fi> Israel, <FI>from<Fi> all the mighty men of wealth, to give to the king of Asshur, fifty shekels of silver for each one, and the king of Asshur turneth back and hath not stayed there in the land.

28and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin.

29In the days of Phacee, king of Israel, came Theglathphalasar, king of Assyria, and took Aion, and Abel Domum Maacha, and Janoe, and Cedes, and Asor, and Galaad, and Galilee, and all the land of Nephthali: and carried them captives into Assyria.
