בִּשְׁנַת חֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה לַעֲזַרְיָה מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה מָלַךְ פְּקַֽחְיָה בֶן־מְנַחֵם עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן שְׁנָתָֽיִם׃
In the fiftieth year of ῾Azarya king of Yehuda, Peqaĥya the son of Menaĥem began to reign over Yisra᾽el on Shomeron, and reigned two years.

וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה לֹא סָר מֵֽחַטֹּאות יָרׇבְעָם בֶּן־נְבָט אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Yorov῾am the son of Nevat, who made Yisra᾽el to sin.

וַיִּקְשֹׁר עָלָיו פֶּקַח בֶּן־רְמַלְיָהוּ שָׁלִישׁוֹ וַיַּכֵּהוּ בְשֹׁמְרוֹן בְּאַרְמוֹן בֵּית־[הַמֶּלֶךְ] (מלך) אֶת־אַרְגֹּב וְאֶת־הָאַרְיֵה וְעִמּוֹ חֲמִשִּׁים אִישׁ מִבְּנֵי גִלְעָדִים וַיְמִתֵהוּ וַיִּמְלֹךְ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
But Peqaĥ the son of Remalyahu, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Shomeron, in the palace of the king’s house, (by Argov and the Arye) and with him fifty men of the Gil῾adim: and he killed him, and reigned in his place.

Rashi
את ארגוב ואת האריה. כל ארגוב לשון פלטין החשובין, וכל 'טרכונין' בלשון ארמי, פלטין החשובין למלכות בארמון הגדול אשר אצל הארגוב:
[Near] the palace and [near] the lion. Every ארגוב is an expression of important palaces, and every טרכונין in Aramaic [means] important palaces of the kingdom.12See Rashi in Devarim 3:4. Alternatively, “Argov” and “Aryeh” are names of two mighty warriors who were with Pekach, in addition to the fifty men.—Metzudas Tzion In the great chamber that was next to the palace.
ואת האריה. יש לומר, שהיה אריה של זהב עומד באותו ארמון:
And [near] the lion. It is possible to say that a golden lion was standing in that palace.
וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי פְקַחְיָה וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ {פ}
And the rest of the acts of Peqaĥya, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra᾽el.
