| 4. | Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. |
| 5. | And Jehovah smote the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house. And Jotham the king`s son was over the house, judging the people of the land. |

| 25. | And Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the fortress of the king`s house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites; and he slew him, and reigned in his stead. |
| 26. | And 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 the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, for twenty years. |
