Compare all
28 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin.
29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria acame and took bIjon, Abel Beth Maachah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he ccarried them captive to Assyria.  
30 Then Hoshea the son of Elah led a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and struck and killed him; so he areigned in his place in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.  
31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

34 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he did aaccording to all that his father Uzziah had done.  
35 aHowever the1 high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. bHe built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord.  
36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

2 Kings 15:30

Hoshea, the son of Elah - One of Pekah' s friends, according to Josephus.

The twentieth year of Jotham - According to II Kings 15:33 and II Chronicles 27:1, Jotham reigned only 16 years. See also the suggestion in the margin. Strangely enough, this first year of Hoshea is also called, not the fourth, but the twelfth of Ahaz II Kings 17:1. The chronological confusion of the history, as it stands, is striking.

Uzziah - i. e. Azariah. See II Kings 15:1-4.
