1In the twenty and seventh year of Yarov’am [the people will contend] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] began ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] son of Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] to reign. 2Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother's name [was] Y’kholyahu [Yehovah is able] of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. 3And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), according to all that his father Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] had done; 4Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places. 5And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) struck the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house. And Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] the king's son [was] over the house, [as regent] judging the people of the land. 6And the rest of the acts of ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped], and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]? 7So ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David [beloved]: and Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] his son reigned in his stead.

8In the thirty and eighth year of ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] did Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] [the Lord recalled] the son of Yarov’am [the people will contend] reign over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in Shomron [watch mountain] six months. 9And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], who made Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin. 10And Shalum [retribution] the son of Yavesh [dry] conspired against him, and struck him before the people, and killed him, and reigned in his stead. 11And the rest of the acts of Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] [the Lord recalled], behold, they [are] written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 12This [was] the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) which he spoke unto Yehu [Yehovah is He], saying, Your1s sons shall sit on the throne of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] unto the fourth [generation]. And so it came to pass.

13Shalum [retribution] the son of Yavesh [dry] began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; and he reigned a full month in Shomron [watch mountain]. 14For Menachem [comforter] the son of Gadi [my fortune] went up from Tirtzah [Favourable], and came to Shomron [watch mountain], and struck Shalum [retribution] the son of Yavesh [dry] in Shomron [watch mountain], and killed him, and reigned in his stead. 15And the rest of the acts of Shalum [retribution], and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they [are] written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 16Then Menachem [comforter] struck Tifsach [cross over], and all that [were] in it, and the coasts thereof from Tirtzah [Favourable]: because they opened not [ their gates to him], therefore he struck [it; and] all the women in it that were with child he ripped up.

17In the nine and thirtieth year of ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] began Menachem [comforter] the son of Gadi [my fortune] to reign over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [and reigned] ten years in Shomron [watch mountain]. 18And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): he departed not all his days from the sins of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], who made Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin.

19[And] Pul [distinguishing] the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) came against the land: and Menachem [comforter] gave Pul [distinguishing] a thirty-three tons of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. 20And Menachem [comforter] exacted the money of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [even] of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))). So the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) turned back, and detained (held) not there in the land. 21And the rest of the acts of Menachem [comforter], and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]? 22And Menachem [comforter] slept with his fathers; and P’kachyah [Yehovah sees] his son reigned in his place.

23In the fiftieth year of ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] P’kachyah [Yehovah sees] the son of Menachem [comforter] began to reign over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in Shomron [watch mountain], [and reigned] two years. 24And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): he departed not from the sins of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], who made Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin. 25But Pekach [opened] the son of Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah], a captain of his, conspired against him, and struck him in Shomron [watch mountain], in the palace of the king's house, with Argov [Heap of Clods] and Aryeh [lion], and with him fifty men of the Gil’adi [son]: and he killed him, and reigned in his room. 26And the rest of the acts of P’kachyah [Yehovah sees], and all that he did, behold, they [are] written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

27In the two and fiftieth year of ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] Pekach [opened] the son of Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah] began to reign over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in Shomron [watch mountain], [and reigned] twenty years. 28And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): he departed not from the sins of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], who made Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin.

29In the days of Pekach [opened] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] came Tiglat-Pil’eser [you will uncover the wonderful bond] king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and took ‘Iyon [a ruin], and Avel-Beit-Ma’akhah [meadow of the house of oppression], and Yanoach [He rests], and Kedesh [Holy Place], and Hatzor [Castle], and Gil’ad [Rocky Region], and Galil [circuit, district], all the land of Naftali [My Wrestling], and carried them captive to Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))). 30And Hoshea [salvation] the son of Elah [an oak] made a conspiracy against Pekach [opened] the son of Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah], and struck him, and killed him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] the son of ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah]. 31And the rest of the acts of Pekach [opened], and all that he did, behold, they [are] written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

32In the second year of Pekach [opened] the son of Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] began Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] the son of ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] to reign. 33Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother's name [was] Yerusha [dispossessor], the daughter of Tzadok [righteous]. 34And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): he did according to all that his father ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] had done. 35However the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 36Now the rest of the acts of Toram [Yehovah is Perfect], and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]? 37In those days the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) began to send against Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] Retzin [firm] the king of Aram (Syria) [exalted], and Pekach [opened] the son of Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah]. 38And Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David [beloved] his father: and Achaz [he has grasped] his son reigned in his stead.
