15:1 In
the
twenty

seventh
year
of
Jeroboam
king
of
Israel
reigned
hath
Azariah
son
of
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
15:2 a
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
[is]
Jecholiah
of
Jerusalem,
15:3 and
he
doth
that
which
[is]
right
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
according
to
all
that
Amaziah
his
father
did,
15:4 only,
the
high
places
have
not
turned
aside--yet
are
the
people
sacrificing
and
making
perfume
in
high
places.
15:5 And
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
[is]
over
the
house,
judging
the
people
of
the
land.
15:6 And
the
rest
of
the
matters
of
Azariah,
and
all
that
he
did,
are

15:7 And

David,
and
reign
doth

15:9 and
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.
15:10 And
Shallum
son
of
Jabesh
conspireth
against
him,
and
smiteth
him
before
the
people,
and
putteth
him
to
death,

of
the
matters
of
Zechariah,
lo,
they
are
written
on
the
book
of
the
Chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
15:12 It
[is]
the
word
of
Jehovah
that
He
spake
unto
Jehu,
saying,
`Sons
of
the
fourth
[generation]

Samaria,
and
smiteth

and
reigneth
in
his
stead.
15:15 And

and
his
conspiracy
that
he
made,
lo,

15:16 Then
doth
Menahem
smite
Tiphsah,
and
all
who
[are]
in
it,
and
its
borders
from
Tirzah,
for
it
opened
not
[to
him]
,
and
he
smiteth
[it]
,
all
its
pregnant
women
he
hath
ripped
up.
15:17 In

hath
turned
not
aside
from
the
sins
of

son
of
Nebat
that
he
caused
Israel
to
sin,
all
his
days.
15:19 Pul
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.
15:20 And
Menahem
bringeth
out
the
silver
[from]
Israel,
[from]
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.
15:21 And

rest
of
the
matters
of
Menahem,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not

from
the
sins
of

son
of
Nebat
that
he
caused
Israel
to
sin.
15:25 And
Pekah
son
of
Remaliah,
his

house
of
the
king
with
Argob
and
Arieh,
and
with

of
the
sons
of
the
Gileadites,
and
he
putteth
