2 Kings 15:28-30

Living Bible

²⁸ Pekah, too, was an evil king, and he continued in the example of Jeroboam I (son of Nebat), who led all of Israel into the sin of worshiping idols. ²⁹ It was during his reign that King Tiglath-pileser^[a] led an attack against Israel. He captured the cities of Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali; and he took the people away to Assyria as captives. ³⁰ Then Hoshea (the son of Elah) plotted against Pekah and assassinated him; and he took the throne for himself.
