2 Kings 15:25-27
New International Reader's Version
25 One of Pekahiah’s chief officers was Pekah. He was the son of Remaliah. Pekah made evil plans against Pekahiah. He took 50 men from Gilead with him and killed Pekahiah. Pekah also killed Argob and Arieh. He killed all of them in the safest place in the royal palace at Samaria. So Pekah killed Pekahiah. He became the next king after him.
26 The other events of the rule of Pekahiah are written down. Everything he did is written in the official records of the kings of Israel.
