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 year fifty 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 did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused 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 sons of Gilead; and he killed him and reigned in his place.
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.
