The commander of Pekahiah’s army was Pekah son of Remaliah. Pekah killed Pekahiah. He killed him in Samaria at the king’s palace. [179] Pekah had 50 men from Gilead with him when he killed Pekahiah. Then Pekah became the new king after him.
Zechariah did the things the Lord said were wrong. He did the same things his ancestors [174] did. He did not stop doing the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that caused Israel to sin.
