Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria for twenty years.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
