2 Kings (4 Kings) 15

1

In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel Azarias the son of Amessias king of Juda began to reign.

ΕΝ ἔτει εἰκοστῷ καὶ ἑβδόμῳ τῷ ῾Ιεροβοὰμ βασιλεῖ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Αζαρίας υἱὸς ᾿Αμεσσίου βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα.

2

Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jechelia of Jerusalem.

υἱὸς ἑκκαίδεκα ἐτῶν ἦν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ πεντηκονταδύο ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ ῾Ιεχελία ἐξ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

3

And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all things that Amessias his father did.

καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν ᾿Αμεσσίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ·

4

Only he took not away [any] of the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

πλὴν τῶν ὑψηλῶν οὐκ ἐξῇρεν, ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐθυσίαζε καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς,

5

And the Lord plagued the king, and he was leprous till the day of his death; and he reigned in a separate house. And Joatham the king’s son [was] over the household, judging the people of the land.

καὶ ἥψατο Κύριος τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἦν λελεπρωμένος ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν οἴκῳ ἀφφουσώθ, καὶ ᾿Ιωάθαμ υἱὸς τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπὶ τῷ οἴκῳ κρίνων τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς.

6

And the rest of the acts of Azarias, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων ᾿Αζαρίου, καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ιούδα;

7

And Azarias slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ᾿Αζαρίας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Ιωάθαμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

8

In the thirty and eighth year of Azarias king of Juda Zacharias the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

᾿Εν ἔτει τριακοστῷ καὶ ὀγδόῳ τῷ ᾿Αζαρίου βασιλεῖ ᾿Ιούδα ἐβασίλευσε Ζαχαρίας υἱὸς ῾Ιεροβοὰμ ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἑξάμηνον.

9

And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.

καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, καθὰ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτοῦ· οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ῾Ιεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.

10

And Sellum the son of Jabis [and others] conspired against him, and they smote him [in] Keblaam, and slew him, and he reigned in his stead.

καὶ συνεστράφησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν Σελλοὺμ υἱὸς ᾿Ιαβὶς καὶ Κεβλαὰμ καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτόν, καὶ Σελλοὺμ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

11

And the rest of the acts of Zacharias, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ζαχαρίου ἰδού εἰσι γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ισραήλ.

12

[This was] the word of the Lord which he spoke to Ju, saying, Thy sons of the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel: and it was so.

ὁ λόγος Κυρίου, ὃν ἐλάλησε πρὸς ᾿Ιοὺ λέγων· υἱοὶ τέταρτοι καθήσονταί σοι ἐπὶ θρόνου ᾿Ισραήλ· καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως.

13

And Sellum the son of Jabis reigned: and in the thirty and ninth year of Azarias king of Juda began Sellum to reign a full month in Samaria.

Καὶ Σελλοὺμ υἱὸς ᾿Ιαβὶς ἐβασίλευσε· καὶ ἐν ἔτει τριακοστῷ καὶ ἐνάτῳ ᾿Αζαρίᾳ βασιλεῖ ᾿Ιούδα ἐβασίλευσε Σελλοὺμ μῆνα ἡμερῶν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.

14

And Manaem the son of Gaddi went up out of Tharsila, and came to Samaria, and smote Sellum the son of Jabis in Samaria, and slew him.

καὶ ἀνέβη Μαναὴμ υἱὸς Γαδδὶ ἐκ Θαρσιλὰ καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Σελλοὺμ υἱὸν ᾿Ιαβὶς ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτόν.

15

And the rest of the acts of Sellum, and his conspiracy wherein he was engaged, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Σελλοὺμ καὶ ἡ συστροφὴ αὐτοῦ, ἣν συνεστράφη, ἰδού εἰσι γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ισραήλ.

16

Then Manaem smote both Thersa and all that was in it, and its borders extending beyond Thersa, because they opened not to him: and he smote it, and ripped up the women with child.

τότε ἐπάταξε Μαναὴμ τὴν Θερσὰ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς ἀπὸ Θερσά, ὅτι οὐκ ἤνοιξαν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὴν καὶ τὰς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας ἀνέρρηξεν.

17

In the thirty and ninth year of Azarias king of Juda began Manaem the son of Gaddi to reign over Israel in Samaria ten years.

᾿Εν ἔτει τριακοστῷ καὶ ἐνάτῳ τῷ ᾿Αζαρίᾳ βασιλεῖ ᾿Ιούδα ἐβασίλευσε Μαναὴμ υἱὸς Γαδδὶ ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ δέκα ἔτη.

18

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.

καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου· οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ πασῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ῾Ιεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.

19

In his days went up Phua king of the Assyrians against the land: and Manaem gave to Phua a thousand talents of silver to aid him with his power.

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη Φοὺλ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ασσυρίων ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ Μαναὴμ ἔδωκε τῷ Φοὺλ χίλια τάλαντα ἀργυρίου εἶναι τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

20

And Manaem raised the silver [by a tax] upon Israel, even on every mighty man in wealth, to give to the king of the Assyrians, fifty shekels [levied] on each man; and the king of the Assyrians departed, and remained not there in the land.

καὶ ἐξήνεγκε Μαναὴμ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, ἐπὶ πᾶν δυνατὸν ἰσχύϊ, δοῦναι τῷ βασιλεῖ τῶν ᾿Ασσυρίων, πεντήκοντα σίκλους τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἑνί· καὶ ἀπέστρεψε βασιλεὺς ᾿Ασσυρίων καὶ οὐκ ἔστη ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ γῇ.

21

And the rest of the acts of Manaem, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Μαναὴμ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ισραήλ;

22

And Manaem slept with his fathers; and Phakesias his son reigned in his stead.

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Μαναὴμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Φακεσίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

23

In the fiftieth year of Azarias king of Juda, began Phakesias the son of Manaem to reign over Israel in Samaria two years.

᾿Εν ἔτει πεντηκοστῷ τοῦ ᾿Αζαρίου βασιλεῖ ᾿Ιούδα ἐβασίλευσε Φακεσίας υἱὸς Μαναὴμ ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ δύο ἔτη.

24

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.

καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου· οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ ἁμαρτιῶν ῾Ιεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.

25

And Phakee the son of Romelias, his officer, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria in the front of the king’s house, with Argob and Aria, and with him [there were] fifty men of the four hundred: and he slew him, and reigned in his stead.

καὶ συνεστράφη ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν Φακεὲ υἱὸς Ῥομελίου ὁ τριστάτης αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἐναντίον οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως μετὰ τοͺ ᾿Αργόβ καὶ μετὰ τοῦ ᾿Αρία, καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες ἀπὸ τῶν τετρακοσίων· καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

26

And the rest of the acts of Phakesias, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Φακεσίου καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, ἰδού εἰσι γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ισραήλ.

27

In the fifty-second year of Azarias king of Juda began Phakee the son of Romelias to reign over Israel in Samaria twenty years.

᾿Εν ἔτει πεντηκοστῷ καὶ δευτέρῳ τοῦ ᾿Αζαρίου βασιλεῖ ᾿Ιούδα ἐβασίλευσε Φακεὲ υἱὸς Ῥομελίου ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ εἴκοσιν ἔτη.

28

And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.

καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου· οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ πασῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ῾Ιεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.

29

In the days of Phakee king of Israel came Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians, and took Ain, and Abel, and Thamaacha, and Anioch, and Kenez, and Asor, and Galaa, and Galilee, [even] all the land of Nephthali, and carried them away to the Assyrians.

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Φακεὲ βασιλέως ᾿Ισραὴλ ἦλθε Θαγλαθφελλασὰρ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ασσυρίων καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν Αἲν καὶ τὴν ᾿Αβελβαιθαμααχὰ καὶ τὴν ᾿Ανιὼχ καὶ τὴν Κενὲζ καὶ τὴν ᾿Ασὼρ καὶ τὴν Γαλαὰδ καὶ τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, πᾶσαν γῆν Νεφθαλί, καὶ ἀπῴκισεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ᾿Ασσυρίους.

30

And Osee son of Ela formed a conspiracy against Phakee the son of Romelias, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Joatham the son of Azarias.

καὶ συνέστρεψε σύστρεμμα ῾Ωσηὲ υἱὸς ᾿Ηλὰ ἐπὶ Φακεὲ υἱὸν Ῥομελίου καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσε καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἔτει εἰκοστῷ ᾿Ιωάθαμ υἱοῦ ᾿Αζαρίου.

31

And the rest of the acts of Phakee, and all that he did, behold, these [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Φακεὲ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ισραήλ.

32

In the second year of Phakee son of Romelias king of Israel began Joatham the son of Azarias king of Juda to reign.

᾿Εν ἔτει δευτέρῳ Φακεὲ υἱοῦ Ῥομελίου βασιλεῖ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Ιωάθαμ υἱὸς ᾿Αζαρίου βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα.

33

Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name [was] Jerusa daughter of Sadoc.

υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἦν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ ῾Ιερουσὰ θυγάτηρ Σαδώκ.

34

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all things that his father Azarias did.

καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν ᾿Αζαρίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ·

35

Nevertheless he took not away the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places. He built the upper gate of the Lord’s house.

πλὴν τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἐξῇρεν, ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐθυσίαζε καὶ ἐθυμία ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς. αὐτὸ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν πύλην οἴκου Κυρίου τὴν ἐπάνω.

36

And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων ᾿Ιωάθαμ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ιούδα;

37

In those days the Lord began to send forth against Juda Raasson king of Syria, and Phakee son of Romelias.

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἤρξατο Κύριος ἐξαποστέλλειν ἐν ᾿Ιούδᾳ τὸν Ῥαασσὼν βασιλέα Συρίας, καὶ τὸν Φακεὲ υἱὸν Ῥομελίου.

38

And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the cit of David his father: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ᾿Ιωάθαμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ῎Αχαζ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
