2 Kings 15:24-26
New English Translation

24 He did evil in the sight of[a] the Lord; he did not repudiate[b] the sinful ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat who encouraged Israel to sin. 25 His officer Pekah son of Remaliah conspired against him. He and fifty Gileadites assassinated Pekahiah, as well as Argob and Arieh, in Samaria in the fortress of the royal palace.[c] Pekah[d] then took his place as king.

26 The rest of the events of Pekahiah’s reign, including all his accomplishments, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Israel.[e]

Footnotes

  1. 2 Kings 15:24 tn Heb “in the eyes of.”
  2. 2 Kings 15:24 tn Heb “turn away from.”
  3. 2 Kings 15:25 tn Heb “and he struck him down in Samaria in the fortress of the house of the king, Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men from the sons of the Gileadites, and they killed him.”sn The precise identity of Argob and Arieh, as well as their relationship to the king, are uncertain. The usual assumption is that they were officials assassinated along with Pekahiah, or that they were two of the more prominent Gileadites involved in the revolt. For discussion see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 173.
  4. 2 Kings 15:25 tn Heb “He.” The proper name Pekah has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
  5. 2 Kings 15:26 tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Pekahiah, and all that he did, look, they are written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel.”
