And Menachem slept with his fathers, and his son Peqachjah reigned in his place.
[Pecahiah (sometimes simplified in English to Pekahiah) means "Yahweh sees" or "Yahweh has opened." He is the 17th king of the northern kingdom and reigned for two years (742-740 BC). He is not mentioned in the Books of Chronicles. In the 50th year of Azariah (Hebr. Azarjah) [Uzziah], king of Judah, Pekahiah, son of Menahem, began to reign over Israel in Samaria and reigned for two years.]
The rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and what he did, behold, they are written in the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
