And Menahem ^(F1)lay down with his fathers, and his son Pekahiah became king in his place.

In ^(C1)the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned for two years.

He did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not desist from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, into which he misled Israel.

Then Pekah the son of Remaliah, his officer, conspired against him and struck him in Samaria, in ^(C1)the castle of the king's house with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites, and he killed him and became king in his place.
