In the thirty-ninth year of Judah’s King Uzziah, Shallum son of Jabesh became king; he reigned in Samaria a full month.

Then Hoshea son of Elah organized a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah. He attacked him, killed him, and became king in his place in the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah.

In the second year of Israel’s King Pekah son of Remaliah, Jotham son of Uzziah became king of Judah.

He did what was right in the Lord’s sight just as his father Uzziah had done.
