28 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo´am the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tig´lath–pile´ser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and A´bel–beth–ma´achah, and Jano´ah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gil´e-ad, and Galilee, all the land of Naph´tali, and carried them captive to Assyria.
30 And Hoshe´a the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remali´ah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzzi´ah.
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 Remali´ah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzzi´ah 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 Jeru´sha, 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 Uzzi´ah had done.
