2 Kings 15:27-38

[27] In the two  and fiftieth  year  of Azariah  king  of Judah  Pekah  the son  of Remaliah  began to reign  over Israel  in Samaria,  and reigned twenty  years.  [28] And he did  that which was evil  in the sight  of the LORD:  he departed  not from the sins  of Jeroboam  the son  of Nebat,  who made Israel  to sin.  [29] In the days  of Pekah  king  of Israel  came  Tiglathpileser  king  of Assyria,  and took  Ijon,  and Abelbethmaachah,  and Janoah,  and Kedesh,  and Hazor,  and Gilead,  and Galilee,  all the land  of Naphtali,  and carried them captive  to Assyria.  [30] And Hoshea  the son  of Elah  made  a conspiracy  against Pekah  the son  of Remaliah,  and smote  him, and slew  him, and reigned  in his stead, in the twentieth  year  of Jotham  the son  of Uzziah.  [31] And the rest  of the acts  of Pekah,  and all that he did,  behold, they are written  in the book  of the chronicles  of the kings  of Israel.  [32] In the second  year  of Pekah  the son  of Remaliah  king  of Israel  began Jotham  the son  of Uzziah  king  of Judah  to reign.  [33] Five  and twenty  years  old  was he when he began to reign,  sixteen  years  in Jerusalem.  And his mother's  name  was Jerusha,  the daughter  of Zadok.  [34] And he did  that which was right  in the sight  of the LORD:  he did  according to all that his father  Uzziah  had done.  [35] Howbeit the high places  were not removed:  the people  sacrificed  and burned incense  still in the high places.  He built  the higher  gate  of the house  of the LORD.  [36] Now the rest  of the acts  of Jotham,  and all that he did,  are they not written  in the book  of the chronicles  of the kings  of Judah?  [37] In those days  the LORD  began  to send  against Judah  Rezin  the king  of Syria,  and Pekah  the son  of Remaliah.  [38] And Jotham  slept  with his fathers,  and was buried  with his fathers  in the city  of David  his father:  and Ahaz  his son  reigned  in his stead.
