3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all things that Amessias his father did.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

4 Only he took not away [any] of the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

5 And the Lord plagued the king, and he was leprous till the day of his death; and he reigned in a separate house. And Joatham the king's son [was] over the household, judging the people of the land.

And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the household, judging the people of the land:

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

19 In his days went up Phua king of the Assyrians against the land: and Manaem gave to Phua a thousand talents of silver to aid him with his power.

There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
