015:007 Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his
fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned
in his place.
015:008 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zechariah
the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
015:009 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as his
fathers had done: he didn't depart from the sins of Jeroboam
the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
015:010 Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him
before the people, and killed him, and reigned in his place.
015:011 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
015:012 This was the word of Yahweh which he spoke to Jehu, saying, Your sons
to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
So it came to pass.
015:013 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth
year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned the space
of a month in Samaria.
015:014 Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria,
and struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and killed him,
and reigned in his place.
015:015 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which
he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles
of the kings of Israel.
015:016 Then Menahem struck Tiphsah, and all who were therein,
and the borders of it, from Tirzah: because they didn't open
to him, therefore he struck it; and all the women therein
who were with child he ripped up.
015:017 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began
Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, [and reigned]
ten years in Samaria.
015:018 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh:
he didn't depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam
the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his
hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
015:020 Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty
men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give
to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back,
and didn't stay there in the land.
015:021 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did,
aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Israel?
015:022 Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned
in his place.
015:023 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah
