4 Only athe high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
5 aThe Lord struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death. And he blived in a separate house, 1while Jotham the king’s son was over the household, judging the people of the land.

19 aPul, king of Assyria, came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver so that his hand might be with him to bstrengthen the kingdom 1under his rule.
20 Then Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver to pay the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria returned and did not remain there in the land.
21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

26 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.
27 In athe fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, bPekah son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.
