Context

Pekah Reigns in Israel

²⁷In the fifty-second year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty years.²⁸And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

Summary

This verse recounts the assassination of King Pekah of Israel by his own officer, Pekahiah. It reflects the political instability and violence that plagued the northern kingdom of Israel during this time. The fulfillment of God's judgment on the sinful rulers and people of Israel is evident in these events, as prophesied by the prophets. The consequences of turning away from God and engaging in idolatry are clearly demonstrated through the tragic end of King Pekah.
