2 Kings 15:25-31

[25] But Pekah  the son  of Remaliah,  a captain  of his, conspired  against him, and smote  him in Samaria,  in the palace  of the king's  house,  with Argob  and Arieh,  and with him fifty  men  of the Gileadites:  and he killed  him, and reigned  in his room. [26] And 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.  [27] In the two  and fiftieth  year  of Azariah  king  of Judah  Pekah  the son  of Remaliah  began to reign  over Israel  in Samaria,  and reigned twenty  years.  [28] And he did  that which was evil  in the sight  of the LORD:  he departed  not from the sins  of Jeroboam  the son  of Nebat,  who made Israel  to sin.  [29] In the days  of Pekah  king  of Israel  came  Tiglathpileser  king  of Assyria,  and took  Ijon,  and Abelbethmaachah,  and Janoah,  and Kedesh,  and Hazor,  and Gilead,  and Galilee,  all the land  of Naphtali,  and carried them captive  to Assyria.  [30] And Hoshea  the son  of Elah  made  a conspiracy  against Pekah  the son  of Remaliah,  and smote  him, and slew  him, and reigned  in his stead, in the twentieth  year  of Jotham  the son  of Uzziah.  [31] And 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.
