International Children’s Bible

²⁵ Pekah son of Remaliah was one of Pekahiah’s captains. He made plans against Pekahiah. He took 50 men of Gilead with him and killed Pekahiah. They killed him, Argob and Arieh in the palace at Samaria. Then Pekah became king in Pekahiah’s place.

²⁶ Everything else Pekahiah did is written down. It is in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
