Gen Z: 2 Kings 15
1In the 27th year of Jeroboam, Azariah, son of Amaziah, started his reign in Judah. Major vibes.
2He was just 16 when he took the throne and ruled for 52 years in Jerusalem. His mom's name? Jecholiah, from Jerusalem, no cap.
3He was doing right by the Lord, just like his dad Amaziah kept it real; periodt.
4But those high places? Still up. People were out here sacrificing and burning incense there, totally sus.
5The Lord hit the king with leprosy till he died, and he was living in a separate crib. Jotham, his son, was judging the land, fr.
6All the other stuff Azariah did? It’s in the chronicles of Judah's kings, bet.
7So Azariah passed away, and they laid him to rest with his fam in David's city. Jotham took over after him.
8In the 38th year of Azariah, Zachariah, son of Jeroboam, ruled over Israel in Samaria for six months. Lit.
9He was straight-up evil in the Lord's eyes, just like his pops. Didn't ditch the sins of Jeroboam; that was a savage move.
10Shallum, son of Jabesh, plotted against him, took him out in front of the people, and then he became king. Pop off.
11Yo, check it, all the deets about Zachariah are in the kings of Israel's book, for real.
12God told Jehu straight up, "Your kids gonna chill on the throne for four generations." And it was facts.
13Shallum, son of Jabesh, started his reign in Uzziah's thirty-ninth year, and he was king for a hot month in Samaria.
14Menahem, son of Gadi, rolled up from Tirzah, took out Shallum in Samaria, and snatched the throne, no cap.
15All the other stuff Shallum did and his shady moves? Yeah, it's in the kings of Israel's book too, periodt.
16Menahem went off on Tiphsah and everyone there 'cause they didn’t vibe with him; he took them out, even the pregnant ladies, savage.
17In Uzziah's thirty-ninth year, Menahem, son of Gadi, took over Israel and ruled for ten years in Samaria, no cap.
18He was sus in God's eyes, never stopped doing the wrong things like Jeroboam, who got Israel to mess up.
19Pul, the king of Assyria, rolled up on the land, and Menahem dropped a thousand talents of silver to keep him on his side, bet.
20Menahem collected cash from all the wealthy peeps in Israel, fifty shekels each, to send to the Assyrian king. So, he bounced and didn’t stick around.
21The rest of Menahem's moves and all his deeds? You bet they're in the chronicles of the kings of Israel, fam.
22Menahem chilled with his fam, and his son Pekahiah took over, periodt.
23In the fiftieth year of Azariah, king of Judah, Pekahiah, Menahem's son, popped off in Samaria for two years.
24Dude was sus in the Lord's eyes, didn't ditch the sins of Jeroboam, who got Israel to mess up.
25But Pekah, Remaliah's son, was like, “Nah,” and plotted against him, took him out in the palace with fifty Gilead homies.
26The rest of Pekahiah's acts? Yeah, they’re documented in the chronicles of the kings of Israel, no cap.
27In the fifty-second year of Azariah, Pekah, Remaliah's son, started his reign in Samaria for twenty years.
28He was also sus in the Lord's eyes, sticking to the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel mess up.
29During Pekah's reign, Tiglath–pileser from Assyria rolled in, taking Ijon, Abel–beth–maachah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, snatching up all of Naphtali, no cap.
30Hoshea, Elah's son, was like, “I’m done,” and plotted against Pekah, took him out, and reigned in his place in Jotham's twentieth year.
31The rest of Pekah's moves and all that he did? Yeah, it's all in the chronicles of the kings of Israel, no cap.
32In the second year of Pekah, Jotham, Uzziah's son, started his reign in Judah, and it was lit.
33Dude was 25 when he took the throne and ruled for 16 years in Jerusalem. His mom, Jerusha, was Zadok's daughter, fr.
34He kept it 100 in the Lord's eyes, doing all the right things just like his dad Uzziah.
35But those high places? Still a vibe; people kept sacrificing and burning incense there. He even built the higher gate of the Lord’s house.
36The rest of Jotham's moves? They’re also in the chronicles of the kings of Judah, for real.
37Back then, the Lord started sending Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah against Judah, and it was kinda sus.
38Jotham passed away and was buried with his fam in David's city; then his son Ahaz took over, and that was a whole vibe.
