But Hoshea's broken faith became clear to the king of Assyria because he had sent representatives to So, king of Egypt, and did not send his offering to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: so the king of Assyria had him shut up in prison and put in chains.

And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.

And they went against his rules, and the agreement which he made with their fathers, and his laws which he gave them; they gave themselves up to things without sense or value, and became foolish like the nations round them, of whom the Lord had said, Do not as they do.

So one of the priests whom they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back, and, living in Beth-el, became their teacher in the worship of the Lord.

And at the death of Shaul, Baal-hanan, the son of Achbor, became king in his place.

And at the death of Baal-hanan, Hadad became king in his place; his town was named Pai, and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.

And the sons of Ezrah: Jether and Mered and Epher and Jalon; and these are the sons of Bithiah, the daughter of Pharaoh, the wife of Mered. And she became the mother of Miriam and Shammai and Ishbah, the father of Eshtemoa.

And his wife, a woman of the tribe of Judah, became the mother of Jered, the father of Gedor, and Heber, the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel, the father of Zanoah.

And at Beth-marcaboth, and at Hazarsusim, and at Beth-biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their towns till David became king.

These, whose names are given, were chiefs in their families, and their families became very great in number.

Though Judah became stronger than his brothers, and from him came the ruler, the birthright was Joseph's:)

After that, he had connection with his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to a son, to whom his father gave the name of Beriah, because trouble had come on his family.

And Shaharaim became the father of children in the country of the Moabites after driving out Hushim and Beerah his wives;

And by Hodesh his wife he became the father of Jobab and Zibia and Mesha and Malcam.

And Hushim became the father of Abitub and Elpaal.

And David said, The first to overcome the Jebusites will be chief and captain. And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became chief.

And David became greater and greater in power, because the Lord of armies was with him.

And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.

For your people Israel you made yours for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.

And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.

Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

Now it came about after this that death came to Nahash, the king of the children of Ammon, and his son became king in his place.

And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants: and the Aramaeans would give no more help to the children of Ammon.

And he came to his end after a long life, full of days and great wealth and honour; and Solomon his son became king in his place.

And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this evil on them.

And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was ruling for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.

In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah.

So Abijah went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David, and Asa his son became king in his place; in his time the land was quiet for ten years.

And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.

Jehoshaphat became greater and greater, and made strong towers and store-towns in Judah.

But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king of Israel was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans till the evening; and by sundown he was dead.

And Jehoshaphat was king over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for twenty-five years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:

And Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his place.

Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.
