Usage: Pekachjah is used as a proper noun, specifically as the name of a king of Israel. Context: Pekachjah was the son of Menahem and became the king of Israel, reigning in Samaria. His reign is recorded in 2 Kings 15:23-26. Pekachjah ascended to the throne in the fiftieth year of Uzziah, king of Judah, and ruled for two years. His reign was marked by the continuation of the idolatrous practices initiated by Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which led Israel into sin. Pekachjah's rule was abruptly ended when he was assassinated by one of his own military officers, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, who conspired against him. Pekah, along with fifty men from Gilead, struck Pekachjah down in the citadel of the king's palace in Samaria, thus seizing the throne for himself. The brief account of Pekachjah's reign highlights the political instability and moral decline of the Northern Kingdom during this period.
