WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Εν τω εικοστώ εβδόμω έτει του Ιεροβοάμ βασιλέως του Ισραήλ εβασίλευσεν ο Αζαρίας, υιός του Αμασίου, βασιλέως του Ιούδα.
1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.
2 Δεκαέξ ετών ηλικίας ήτο ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσε πεντήκοντα δύο έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ· το δε όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Ιεχολία, εξ Ιερουσαλήμ.
2 He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
3 Και έπραξε το ευθές ενώπιον του Κυρίου, κατά πάντα όσα είχε πράξει Αμασίας ο πατήρ αυτού.
3 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
4 Πλην οι υψηλοί τόποι δεν αφηρέθησαν· ο λαός έτι εθυσίαζε και εθυμίαζεν επί τους υψηλούς τόπους.
4 However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
5 Και επάταξεν ο Κύριος τον βασιλέα, και ήτο λεπρός έως της ημέρας του θανάτου αυτού και κατώκει εν οικία αποκεχωρισμένη. Ήτο δε επί του οίκου Ιωθάμ ο υιός του βασιλέως, κρίνων τον λαόν της γης.
5 Yahweh struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, judging the people of the land.
6 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Αζαρίου και πάντα όσα έπραξε δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ιούδα;
6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
7 Και εκοιμήθη ο Αζαρίας μετά των πατέρων αυτού· και έθαψαν αυτόν μετά των πατέρων αυτού εν πόλει Δαβίδ· εβασίλευσε δε αντ' αυτού Ιωθάμ ο υιός αυτού.
7 Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned in his place.
8 Εν τω τριακοστώ ογδόω έτει του Αζαρίου βασιλέως του Ιούδα, Ζαχαρίας ο υιός του Ιεροβοάμ εβασίλευσεν επί τον Ισραήλ εν Σαμαρεία, εξ μήνας.
8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months.
9 Και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου, ως είχον πράξει οι πατέρες αυτού· δεν απεμακρύνθη από των αμαρτιών του Ιεροβοάμ υιού του Ναβάτ, όστις έκαμε τον Ισραήλ να αμαρτήση.
9 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as his fathers had done. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
10 Και συνώμοσε κατ' αυτού Σαλλούμ ο υιός του Ιαβείς, και επάταξεν αυτόν κατέμπροσθεν του λαού και εθανάτωσεν αυτόν και εβασίλευσεν αντ' αυτού.
10 Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people and killed him, and reigned in his place.
11 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Ζαχαρίου, ιδού, είναι γεγραμμέναι εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12 Ούτος ήτο ο λόγος του Κυρίου, τον οποίον ελάλησε προς τον Ιηού, λέγων, Οι υιοί σου θέλουσι καθίσει επί του θρόνου του Ισραήλ έως τετάρτης γενεάς. Και έγεινεν ούτως.
12 This was Yahweh’s word which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.
13 Εβασίλευσε δε Σαλλούμ ο υιός του Ιαβείς εν τω τριακοστώ εννάτω έτει του Οζίου βασιλέως του Ιούδα, και εβασίλευσεν ένα μήνα εν Σαμαρεία.
13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned for a month in Samaria.
14 Και ανέβη Μεναήμ ο υιός του Γαδεί από Θερσά, και ήλθεν εις Σαμάρειαν και εκτύπησε τον Σαλλούμ τον υιόν του Ιαβείς εν Σαμαρεία, και εθανάτωσεν αυτόν και εβασίλευσεν αντ' αυτού.
14 Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, came to Samaria, struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, killed him, and reigned in his place.
15 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Σαλλούμ, και η συνωμοσία αυτού την οποίαν έκαμεν, ιδού, είναι γεγραμμέναι εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
16 Τότε επάταξεν ο Μεναήμ την Θαψά και πάντας τους εν αυτή και τα όρια αυτής από Θερσά· επειδή δεν ήνοιξαν εις αυτόν, διά τούτο επάταξεν αυτήν· και πάσας τας εν αυτή εγκυμονούσας διέσχισεν.
16 Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were in it and its border areas, from Tirzah. He attacked it because they didn’t open their gates to him, and he ripped up all their women who were with child.
17 Εν τω τριακοστώ εννάτω έτει του Αζαρίου βασιλέως του Ιούδα, Μεναήμ ο υιός του Γαδεί εβασίλευσεν επί τον Ισραήλ, δέκα έτη εν Σαμαρεία.
17 In the thirty ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria.
18 Και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου· δεν απεμακρύνθη κατά πάσας τας ημέρας αυτού από των αμαρτιών του Ιεροβοάμ υιού του Ναβάτ, όστις έκαμε τον Ισραήλ να αμαρτήση.
18 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
19 Τότε ήλθεν ο Φούλ βασιλεύς της Ασσυρίας εναντίον της γης. και έδωκεν ο Μεναήμ εις τον Φούλ χίλια τάλαντα αργυρίου, διά να ήναι μετ' αυτού η χειρ αυτού εις το να ενισχύση την βασιλείαν εν τη χειρί αυτού.
19 Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
20 Και απέσπασεν ο Μεναήμ το αργύριον από του Ισραήλ, από πάντων των δυνατών εις πλούτη, πεντήκοντα σίκλους αργυρίου αφ' εκάστου, διά να δώση εις τον βασιλέα της Ασσυρίας. Και επέστρεψεν ο βασιλεύς της Ασσυρίας και δεν εστάθη εκεί εν τη γη.
20 Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.
21 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Μεναήμ και πάντα όσα έπραξε, δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ;
21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
22 Και εκοιμήθη ο Μεναήμ μετά των πατέρων αυτού· εβασίλευσε δε αντ' αυτού Φακείας ο υιός αυτού.
22 Menahem slept with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.
23 Εν τω πεντηκοστώ έτει του Αζαρίου βασιλέως του Ιούδα, Φακείας ο υιός του Μεναήμ εβασίλευσεν επί τον Ισραήλ εν Σαμαρεία, δύο έτη.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria for two years.
24 Και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου· δεν απεμακρύνθη από των αμαρτιών του Ιεροβοάμ υιού του Ναβάτ, όστις έκαμε τον Ισραήλ να αμαρτήση.
24 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
25 Και συνώμοσε κατ' αυτού ο Φεκά υιός του Ρεμαλία, ο στρατηγός αυτού, και επάταξεν αυτόν εν Σαμαρεία, εν τω παλατίω του οίκου του βασιλέως, μετά του Αργόβ και Αριέ, έχων μεθ' εαυτού και πεντήκοντα άνδρας εκ των Γαλααδιτών· και εθανάτωσεν αυτόν και εβασίλευσεν αντ' αυτού.
25 Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him and attacked him in Samaria, in the fortress of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites. He killed him, and reigned in his place.
26 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Φακείου και πάντα όσα έπραξεν, ιδού, είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ.
26 Now 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 Εν τω πεντηκοστώ δευτέρω έτει του Αζαρίου βασιλέως του Ιούδα, Φεκά ο υιός του Ρεμαλία εβασίλευσεν επί τον Ισραήλ εν Σαμαρεία, είκοσι έτη.
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.
28 Και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου· δεν απεμακρύνθη από των αμαρτιών του Ιεροβοάμ υιού του Ναβάτ, όστις έκαμε τον Ισραήλ να αμαρτήση.
28 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
29 Εν ταις ημέραις του Φεκά βασιλέως του Ισραήλ, ήλθεν ο Θεγλάθ-φελασάρ βασιλεύς της Ασσυρίας, και εκυρίευσε την Ιϊών και την Αβέλ-βαίθ-μααχά και την Ιανώχ, και την Κεδές και την Ασώρ και την Γαλαάδ και την Γαλιλαίαν, πάσαν την γην Νεφθαλί, και μετώκισεν αυτούς εις Ασσυρίαν.
29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria came and took Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.
30 Και έκαμεν Ωσηέ ο υιός του Ηλά συνωμοσίαν κατά του Φεκά υιού του Ρεμαλία, και επάταξεν αυτόν και εθανάτωσεν αυτόν και εβασίλευσεν αντ' αυτού, εν τω εικοστώ έτει του Ιωθάμ υιού του Οζίου.
30 Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, attacked him, killed him, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
31 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Φεκά, και πάντα όσα έπραξεν, ιδού, είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
32 Εν τω δευτέρω έτει του Φεκά υιού του Ρεμαλία βασιλέως του Ισραήλ, εβασίλευσεν ο Ιωθάμ υιός του Οζίου βασιλέως του Ιούδα.
32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign.
33 Εικοσιπέντε ετών ηλικίας ήτο ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσε δεκαέξ έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ· το δε όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Ιερουσά θυγάτηρ του Σαδώκ.
33 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.
34 Και έπραξε το ευθές ενώπιον Κυρίου· έπραξε κατά πάντα όσα έπραξεν Οζίας ο πατήρ αυτού.
34 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes. He did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
35 Πλην οι υψηλοί τόποι δεν αφηρέθησαν· ο λαός έτι εθυσίαζε και εθυμίαζεν επί τους υψηλούς τόπους. Ούτος ωκοδόμησε την υψηλήν πύλην του οίκου του Κυρίου.
35 However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house.
36 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Ιωθάμ και πάντα όσα έπραξε, δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ιούδα;
36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
37 Εν ταις ημέραις εκείναις ήρχισεν ο Κύριος να εξαποστέλλη κατά του Ιούδα τον Ρεσίν βασιλέα της Συρίας και τον Φεκά υιόν του Ρεμαλία.
37 In those days, Yahweh began to send Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah.
38 Ο δε Ιωθάμ εκοιμήθη μετά των πατέρων αυτού, και ετάφη μετά των πατέρων αυτού εν πόλει Δαβίδ του πατρός αυτού· εβασίλευσε δε αντ' αυτού Άχαζ ο υιός αυτού.
38 Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

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.
