27In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria and reigned twenty years.28He did what was bad in the eyes of the LORD and did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he caused Israel to sin.29In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maachah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, the Gilead, the Galilee—all the land of Naphtali—and deported the people to Assyria.30Hoshea son of Elah formed a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah, struck him down and put him to death, and reigned in his place in the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah.31The rest of the acts of Pekah and everything he did are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
