RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Azariah, son of Amaziah, became king of Judah in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
1 EN el año veintisiete de Jeroboam, rey de Israel, comenzó á reinar Azarías hijo de Amasías rey de Judá.
2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
2 Cuando comenzó á reinar era de dieciséis años, y cincuenta y dos años reinó en Jerusalem; el nombre de su madre fué Jecolía, de Jerusalem.
3 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his father Amaziah had done.
3 E hizo lo recto en ojos de Jehová, conforme á todas las cosas que su padre Amasías había hecho.
4 But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings in those places.
4 Con todo eso los altos no se quitaron; que el pueblo sacrificaba aún y quemaba perfumes en los altos.
5 The Lord touched the king and he had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in isolation in a separate house. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace and was the country's actual ruler.
5 Mas Jehová hirió al rey con lepra, y fué leproso hasta el día de su muerte, y habitó en casa separada, y Jotham hijo del rey tenía el cargo del palacio, gobernando al pueblo de la tierra.
6 The rest of what happened in Azariah's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
6 Lo demás de los hechos de Azarías, y todas las cosas que hizo, ¿no está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá?
7 Azariah died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Jotham succeeded him as king.
7 Y durmió Azarías con sus padres, y sepultáronlo con sus padres en la ciudad de David: y reinó en su lugar Jotham su hijo.
8 Zechariah, son of Jeroboam, became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Azariah, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for six months.
8 En el año treinta y ocho de Azarías rey de Judá, reinó Zachârías hijo de Jeroboam sobre Israel seis meses.
9 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, as his forefathers had done. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
9 E hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová, como habían hecho sus padres: no se apartó de los pecados de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, el que hizo pecar á Israel.
10 Then Shallum, son of Jabesh, plotted against Zechariah. He attacked him, murdering him in front of the people, and took over as king.
10 Contra él se conjuró Sallum hijo de Jabes, y lo hirió en presencia de su pueblo, y matólo, y reinó en su lugar.
11 The rest of the events of Zechariah's reign are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
11 Lo demás de los hechos de Zachârías, he aquí está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
12 In this way what the Lord told Jehu came true: “Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
12 Y esta fué la palabra de Jehová que había hablado á Jehú, diciendo: Tus hijos hasta la cuarta generación se sentarán en el trono de Israel. Y fué así.
13 Shallum, son of Jabesh, became king in the thirty-ninth year of the reign of King Uzziah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for one month.
13 Sallum hijo de Jabes comenzó á reinar en el año treinta y nueve de Uzzía rey de Judá, y reinó el tiempo de un mes en Samaria;
14 Then Menahem, son of Gadi, went from Tirzah to Samaria, attacked and murdered Shallum, son of Jabesh, and took over as king.
14 Pues subió Manahem hijo de Gadi, de Thirsa, y vino á Samaria, é hirió á Sallum hijo de Jabes en Samaria, y matólo, y reinó en su lugar.
15 The rest of the events of Shallum's reign and the rebellion he plotted are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
15 Lo demás de los hechos de Sallum, y su conjuración con que conspiró, he aquí está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
16 At that time Menahem, starting from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and the region nearby, because they would not surrender the town to him. So he destroyed Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.
16 Entonces hirió Manahem á Tiphsa, y á todos los que estaban en ella, y también sus términos desde Thirsa; é hirióla porque no le habían abierto; y abrió á todas sus preñadas.
17 Menahem, son of Gadi, became king of Israel in the thirty-ninth year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for ten years.
17 En el año treinta y nueve de Azarías rey de Judá, reinó Manahem hijo de Gadi sobre Israel diez años, en Samaria.
18 Throughout his reign he did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
18 E hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová: no se apartó en todo su tiempo de los pecados de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, el que hizo pecar á Israel.
19 Pul, king of Assyria, invaded the country. Menahem paid Pul a thousand talents of silver to support Menahem in consolidating his power over the kingdom.
19 Y vino Phul rey de Asiria á la tierra; y dió Manahem á Phul mil talentos de plata porque le ayudara á confirmarse en el reino.
20 Menahem demanded payment from all the wealthy men of Israel, fifty shekels of silver each, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria retreated and did not stay in the country.
20 E impuso Manahem este dinero sobre Israel, sobre todos los poderosos y opulentos: de cada uno cincuenta siclos de plata, para dar al rey de Asiria, y el rey de Asiria se volvió, y no se detuvo allí en la tierra.
21 The rest of what happened in Menahem's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
21 Lo demás de los hechos de Manahem, y todas las cosas que hizo, ¿no está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?
22 Menahem died, and his son Pekahiah succeeded him as king.
22 Y durmió Manahem con sus padres, y reinó en su lugar Pekaía su hijo.
23 Pekahiah, son of Menahem, became king of Israel in Samaria in the fiftieth year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah, and he reigned for two years.
23 En el año cincuenta de Azarías rey de Judá, reinó Pekaía hijo de Manahem sobre Israel en Samaria, dos años.
24 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
24 E hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová: no se apartó de los pecados de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, el que hizo pecar á Israel.
25 Pekah, son of Remaliah, one of his officers plotted against him together with Argob, Arieh, and fifty men from Gilead. Pekah attacked and killed Pekahiah in the fortress of the king's palace in Samaria, and took over as king.
25 Y conspiró contra él Peka hijo de Remalías, capitán suyo, é hiriólo en Samaria, en el palacio de la casa real, en compañía de Argob y de Ariph, y con cincuenta hombres de los hijos de los Galaaditas; y matólo, y reinó en su lugar.
26 The rest of what happened in Pekahiah's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
26 Lo demás de los hechos de Pekaía, y todas las cosas que hizo, he aquí está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
27 Pekah, son of Remaliah, became king of Israel in the fifty-second year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for twenty years.
27 En el año cincuenta y dos de Azarías rey de Judá, reinó Peka hijo de Remalías sobre Israel en Samaria; y reinó veinte años.
28 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
28 E hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová; no se apartó de los pecados de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, el que hizo pecar á Israel.
29 During the reign of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, invaded and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people to Assyria as prisoners.
29 En los días de Peka rey de Israel, vino Tiglath-pileser rey de los Asirios, y tomó á Ahión, Abel-beth-maachâ, y Janoa, y Cedes, y Asor, y Galaad, y Galilea, y toda la tierra de Nephtalí; y trasportólos á Asiria.
30 Then Hoshea, son of Elah, plotted against Pekah, son of Remaliah. In the twentieth year of the reign of Jotham, son of Uzziah, Hoshea attacked Pekah, killed him, and took over as king.
30 Y Oseas hijo de Ela hizo conjuración contra Peka hijo de Remalías, é hiriólo, y matólo, y reinó en su lugar, á los veinte años de Jotham hijo de Uzzía.
31 The rest of what happened in Pekah's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
31 Lo demás de los hechos de Peka, y todo lo que hizo, he aquí está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.

33 He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerusha, daughter of Zadok.
33 Cuando comenzó á reinar era de veinticinco años, y reinó dieciséis años en Jerusalem. El nombre de su madre fué Jerusa hija de Sadoc.
34 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his father Uzziah had done.
34 Y él hizo lo recto en ojos de Jehová; hizo conforme á todas las cosas que había hecho su padre Uzzía.
35 But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings in those places. He rebuilt the upper gate of the Lord's Temple.
35 Con todo eso los altos no fueron quitados; que el pueblo sacrificaba aún, y quemaba perfumes en los altos. Edificó él la puerta más alta de la casa de Jehová.
36 The rest of the events of Jotham's reign are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
36 Lo demás de los hechos de Jotham, y todas las cosas que hizo, ¿no está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá?
37 During that time the Lord started sending Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, to attack Judah.
37 En aquel tiempo comenzó Jehová á enviar contra Judá á Resín rey de Siria, y á Peka hijo de Remalías.
38 Jotham died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David, his ancestor. His son Ahaz succeeded him as king.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 15:29 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of John (Homily XXXI)

    9, LXX.), but the inhabitants were termed not "Samaritans" but "Israelites." But as time went on, they offended God, and in the reign of Pekah, Tiglath-Pileser came up, and took many cities, and set upon Elah, and having slain him, gave the kingdom to Hoshea. ( 2 Kings xv.
