He struck him in front of the people, killed him, and became king in his place. 11 The other events of Zechariah’s reign are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 12 This fulfilled the word of the LORD spoken to Jehu: 'Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.' And so it was. 13 Shallum son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah, king of Judah, and he reigned for one month in Samaria. 14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah to Samaria, attacked Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, killed him, and became king in his place. 15 The other events of Shallum’s reign, including his conspiracy, are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 16 Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were there, along with its surrounding territories, because they refused to open their gates. He struck the town and ripped open all its pregnant women. 17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah, king of Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became king over Israel, and he reigned for ten years in Samaria. 18 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD. During all his days, he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit. 19 Then Pul, king of Assyria, invaded the land, and Menahem gave him a thousand talents of silver to gain his support and strengthen his hold on the kingdom. 20 Menahem exacted the silver from Israel, from all the wealthy men, demanding fifty shekels of silver from each to pay the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not remain in the land. 21 The rest of the events of Menahem’s reign, including all he did, are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 22 Menahem rested with his ancestors, and his son Pekahiah succeeded him as king. 23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah, king of Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem became king of Israel, and he reigned for two years in Samaria. 24 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit. 25 Then Pekah son of Remaliah, his officer, conspired against him and assassinated him in Samaria, in the citadel of the royal palace, along with Argob and Arieh. Pekah was accompanied by fifty men from Gilead. After killing Pekahiah, he became king in his place. 26 The rest of the events of Pekahiah’s reign, including all he did, are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah, king of Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became king of Israel, and he reigned for twenty years in Samaria. 28 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit. 29 In the days of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, came and captured Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali.

So the Israelites went home. 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them. 18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram, who was in charge of forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam managed to get into his chariot and flee to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day. 20 When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent for him and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel.
