And when he was 16 years old, having sought the law, and finding it neglected, he had it read, and he kept the passover, and proclaimed it, as it is written. But Pharaoh Necho killed him at the Euphrates when he contended against him. In his time Jeremiah and Zephaniah were the prophets, and Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum. Jehoahaz his son, for three months, and he did evil, and Pharaoh Necho removed him; and in his time was Jeremiah. Eliakim, another son of Josiah, who was renamed Jehoiakim, for 11 years, and he did evil. Jehoiachin, also called Jeconiah, his son, for 3 months, and he did evil and was carried away to Babylon. Mattan his son. Nebuchadnezzar made this one king, and renamed him Zedekiah. And he reigned for 12 years, and did evil. And in his time was Jeremiah. Up to this point was the kingdom of Judah, and it was destroyed, just as that of Samaria. For the city was captured, and all were carried away captive to Babylon along with the vessels. And there are 21 kings, not including Athaliah. The names of the kings who were in Samaria, and what was the end of each one's deeds, and how many years each reigned, are as follows. Jeroboam son of Nebat for 24 years. This man, when the kingdom was divided, having come up from Egypt, was the first to reign in Samaria, and he did evil like no other. For fearing lest he be overthrown, he made two golden calves, and deceived the people, saying: These are the gods who brought us up from the land of Egypt. He also invented feasts and priests; And this man made Israel sin. For all those after him followed him. In his time was the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite, and the one who cried out against the altar against him. Nadab his son for 2 years, and he did evil, and no one else from his family reigned. Zimri of another family for 12 years. Baasha for 24 years, and he did evil. In his time the prophets were Elijah, and Elisha, and Micaiah, and the one who prophesied to Ahab concerning Syria and the son of Hadad, and the one who struck him with a wound, and reproved Ahab, and many sons of the prophets by themselves. Ahaziah his son for 2 years, and he did evil. And in his time were Elijah and Elisha; for it was his captains of fifty that Elijah struck with fire by the word of the Lord. Joram son of Ahab for 12 years, and he did evil, and no one else of his family reigned. And Elijah was taken up in his time; but Elisha remained until Jeroboam, son of Joash king of Israel. And in his time there were also the sons of the prophets. Jehu of another family, son of Nimshi, for 22 years. This man destroyed the family of Ahab and the prophets of Baal through trickery, and he broke his pillar. And having done what was right in these things, he received a promise, that "Sons to the fourth generation shall sit on your throne." Jehoahaz his son for 17 years, and he did evil, and he made war against Jerusalem, and took the gold and the vessels. Jeroboam his son for 41 years, and he did evil. Zachariah his son for 6 months, and he did evil. Up to this point there have been sons to the fourth generation of the family of Jehu. Shallum of another family, son of 56.357 Jabesh, for 30 days, and he did evil. Menahem of another family, son of Gadi, for 20 years, and he did evil. In his time Isaiah and Hosea were prophesying. Pekah of another family, son of Remaliah, for 20 years. This man slaughtered Pekahiah, and did evil. In his time were Isaiah and Hosea the prophets.Hoshea of another family, son of Elah, for 9 years. This man slaughtered Pekah, and did evil, but not as those before him. (Last) Hoshea became king of Samaria. For in his time it ceased, and Samaria was destroyed, and thereafter the Assyrians dwelt in it. From whom the heretical Samaritans have come, who are called Sadducees. In these things, therefore, the whole scope of the books of the Kingdoms also ends.

Γενόμενος δὲ ἐτῶν ι ϛʹ, τόν τε νόμον ζητήσας, καὶ εὑρὼν ἀμεληθέντα, ἀναγνωσθῆναι πεποίηκε, καὶ τὸ πάσχα ἐποίησε, καὶ ἐκήρυξεν, ὡς γέγραπται. Τοῦτον δὲ ἀνεῖλε Φαραὼ Νεχαὼ ἐπὶ τοῦ Εὐφράτου φιλονεικήσαντα πρὸς αὐτόν. Ἐπὶ τούτου Ἱερεμίας καὶ Σοφονίας ἦσαν οἱ προφῆται, καὶ Ὀλδὰ ἡ προφῆτις γυνὴ Σελλῆ. Ἰωάχαζ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ μῆνας τρεῖς, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν, καὶ μετέστησεν αὐτὸν Φαραὼ Νεχαώ· καὶ ἐπὶ τούτου ἦν Ἱερεμίας. Ἐλιακεὶμ ἕτερος υἱὸς Ἰωσίου, ὃςμετωνομάσθη Ἰωακεὶμ, ἔτη ιαʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν. Ἰωακεὶμ ὁ καὶ Ἰεχονίας, ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ, μῆνας γʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν καὶ ἀπήχθη εἰς Βαβυλῶνα. Ματθὰν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ. Τοῦτον Ναβουχοδονόσορ ἐποίησε βασιλέα, καὶ μετωνόμασε αὐτὸν Σεδεκίαν. Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἔτη ιβʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν. Καὶ ἐπὶ τούτου ἦν Ἱερεμίας. Ἕως τούτου ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Ἰούδα, καὶ κατελύθη, ὥσπερ καὶ τῆς Σαμαρείας. Καὶ γὰρ ἡ πόλις ἑάλω, καὶ πάντες ἀπήχθησαν αἰχμάλωτοι εἰς Βαβυλῶνα μετὰ σκευῶν. Εἰσὶ δὲ βασιλεῖς καʹ, ἐκτὸς Γοθολίας. Ὀνόματα τῶν βασιλέων τῶν γενομένων ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, καὶ ποῖον τῆς ἑκάστου πράξεως γέγονε τέλος, καὶ πόσα ἔτη ἕκαστος ἐβασίλευσεν, οὕτως. Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβὰθ ἔτη κδʹ. Οὗτος σχισθείσης τῆς βασιλείας ἀνελθὼν ἀπ' Αἰγύπτου πρῶτος ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ὡς οὐδεὶς ἕτερος. Φοβούμενος γὰρ μὴ καταληφθῇ, ἐποίησε δαμάλεις χρυσᾶς δύο, καὶ ἠπάτησε τὸν λαὸν λέγων· Οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ θεοὶ, οἱ ἀναγαγόντες ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου. Ἐπλάσατο καὶ ἑορτὰς καὶ ἱερέας· Καὶ οὗτος ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ. Αὐτῷ γὰρ πάντες οἱ μετ' αὐτὸν κατηκολούθησαν. Ἐπὶ τούτου ἦν προφήτης Ἀχίας ὁ Σιλονίτης, καὶ ὁ ἐπικαλεσάμενος ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κατ' αὐτοῦ. Ναβὰθ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἔτη βʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν, καὶ οὐκ ἔτι τις ἐκ γένους αὐτοῦ ἐβασίλευσε. Ζαμβρὶ ἑτέρου γένους ἔτη ιβʹ. Βαασᾶ ἔτη κδʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν. Ἐπὶ τούτου προφῆται ἦσαν Ἠλίας, καὶ Ἑλισσαῖος, καὶ Μιχαίας, καὶ ὁ προφητεύσας τῷ Ἀχαὰβ περὶ τῆς Συρίας καὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἀδὲρ, καὶ ὁ πατάξας αὐτὸν τραύματι, καὶ ἐλέγξας τὸν Ἀχαὰβ, καὶ πολλοὶ καθ' ἑαυτοὺς υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν. Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἔτη βʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν. Καὶ ἐπὶ τούτου ἦσαν Ἠλίας καὶ Ἑλισσαῖος· αὐτοῦγὰρ τοὺς πεντηκοντάρχους ἐπάταξεν ἐν πυρὶ Ἠλίας ἐν ῥήματι Κυρίου. Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸς Ἀχαὰβ ἔτη ιβʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν, καὶ οὐκέτι τις τοῦ γένους αὐτοῦ ἐβασίλευσε. Καὶ ὁ μὲν Ἠλίας ἀνελήφθη ἐπὶ τούτου· ὁ δὲ Ἑλισσαῖος διέμεινεν ἕως Ἱεροβοὰμ, υἱὸν Ἰωὰςβασιλέως Ἰσραήλ. Ἦσαν δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τούτου οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν. Ἰοῦ ἑτέρου γένους, υἱὸς Ναμεσσῆ, ἔτη κβʹ. Οὗτος ἀνεῖλε τὸ γένος Ἀχαὰβ καὶ τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ Βάαλ ἐν τῷ πτερνισμῷ, καὶ τὴν στήλην αὐτοῦ συνέτριψε. Καὶ ἐν τούτοις ποιήσας τὸ εὐθὲς, ἔσχε ἐπαγγελίαν, ὅτι Υἱοὶ τέταρτοι καθίσονταί σοι ἐπὶ θρόνου. Ἰοαχὰζ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἔτη ιζʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν, καὶ ἐπολέμησε τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη. Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἔτη μαʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν. Ζαχαρίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ μῆνας ϛʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν. Ἕως τούτου γεγόνασι τοῦ γένους Ἰοῦ υἱοὶ τέταρτοι. Σελλοὺμ ἑτέρου γένους, υἱὸς 56.357 Ἰαβὶς, ἡμέρας λʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν. Μαναὴμ ἄλλου γένους, υἱὸς Γαδδὴ, ἔτη κʹ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν. Ἐπὶ τούτου Ἡσαΐας καὶ Ὠσηὲ ἦσαν προφητεύοντες. Φακεὲ ἄλλου γένους, υἱὸς Ῥωμελίου ἔτη κʹ. Οὗτος ἔσφαξε τὸν Φακείαν, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν. Ἐπὶ τούτου ἦσαν Ἡσαΐας καὶ Ὠσηὲ οἱ προφῆται.Ὠσηὲ ἑτέρου γένους, υἱὸς Ἠλᾶ, ἔτη θʹ. Οὗτος ἔσφαξε τὸν Φακεὲ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν, πλὴν οὐχ ὡς οἱ πρὸ αὐτοῦ. (Ὕστερος) Ὠσηὲ γέγονε βασιλεὺς Σαμαρείας. Ἐπ' αὐτοῦ γὰρ πέπαυται, καὶ ἀπώλετο ἡ Σαμάρεια, καὶ λοιπὸν Ἀσσύριοι κατῴκησαν ἐν αὐτῇ. Ἐξ ὧν αἱρετικοὶ Σαμαρεῖται γεγόνασι, καλούμενοι Σαδουκαῖοι. Ἐν τούτοις οὖν καὶ τελευτᾷ ὁ πᾶς σκοπὸς τῶν βιβλίων τῶν Βασιλειῶν.
