Pekah Reigns in Israel
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twenty years. 28 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (A)which he made Israel to sin.
29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, (B)Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured (C)Ijon, (D)Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, (E)Kedesh, (F)Hazor, Gilead, and (G)Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and he carried the people captive to Assyria. 30 Then Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah and struck him down and put him to death and reigned in his place, (H)in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah. 31 Now 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.

Pekah King of Israel
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah(A) son of Remaliah(B) became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twenty years. 28 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.
29 In the time of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser(C) king of Assyria came and took Ijon,(D) Abel Beth Maakah, Janoah, Kedesh and Hazor. He took Gilead and Galilee, including all the land of Naphtali,(E) and deported(F) the people to Assyria. 30 Then Hoshea(G) son of Elah conspired against Pekah son of Remaliah. He attacked and assassinated(H) him, and then succeeded him as king in the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah.
31 As for the other events of Pekah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals(I) of the kings of Israel?
