בִּשְׁנַת חֲמִשִּׁים וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנָה לַעֲזַרְיָה מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה מָלַךְ פֶּקַח בֶּן־רְמַלְיָהוּ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָֽה׃

וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה לֹא סָר מִן־חַטֹּאות 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.

בִּימֵי פֶּקַח מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּא תִּגְלַת פִּלְאֶסֶר מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וַיִּקַּח אֶת־עִיּוֹן וְאֶת־אָבֵל בֵּֽית־מַעֲכָה וְאֶת־יָנוֹחַ וְאֶת־קֶדֶשׁ וְאֶת־חָצוֹר וְאֶת־הַגִּלְעָד וְאֶת־הַגָּלִילָה כֹּל אֶרֶץ נַפְתָּלִי וַיַּגְלֵם אַשּֽׁוּרָה׃

וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי־פֶקַח וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ {פ}

בשנת עשרים ליותם. היה לו לומר בשנת ארבע לאחז, שהרי כל ימי מלכות יותם שש עשרה שנה, אלא לפי שהיה אחז רשע, רצה הכתוב למנותם ליותם בקבר, ולא לאחז בחיים, כך הוא בסדר עולם:
In the twentieth year of Yosam. He should have said, “in the fourth year of Achaz,” because Yosam's entire reign lasted [only] sixteen years, but since Achaz was wicked, Scripture prefers to count [the years with reference] to Yosam who was in the grave, rather than to Achaz, who was alive.13Alternatively, because the Divine decree of destruction had been passed against Pekach during Yosam's reign, therefore its fulfillment is reckoned in terms of his reign even though it took place after his death.—Radak Thus it is [stated] in Seder Olam.
