In the twelfth year of Ahaz the king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah reigned in Samaria, nine years over Israel.
And Hoshea the son of Elah conspired a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and struck him, and caused him to die, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham the king of Judah began to reign.
And he did the evil in the eyes of Jehovah, only not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
And it happened in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah the king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz the king of Judah began to reign.
