	pekah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Pekah ("open-eyed"), was king of Israel, the son of Remaliah, and a captain in the army of Pekahiah, king of Israel.
		But Tiglath-Pileser III, who was in alliance with Ahaz, king of Judah, came up against Pekah, and carried away as captives many of the inhabitants of his kingdom (2 Kings 15:29; Tiglath-Pileser also records this act in one of his inscriptions).
		Soon after this Pekah was put to death by Hoshea, the son of Elah, who usurped the throne (2 Kings 15:30; 16:1-9; compare Isaiah 7:16; 8:4; 9:12), although Tiglath-Pileser claims in an inscription to have replaced Pekah with Hoshea himself.

		Pekah's assassination of Pekahiah set the nation on a dangerous course.

		Although Pekah is said to reign for twenty years in the Book of Kings, such a lengthy reign cannot be supported from the evidence of the Assyrian chronicles, which show Menahem to have been King in 740 BC and Hoshea to have been King from 732 BC.
		With the aid of a band of Gileadites, he slew Pekahiah and assumed the throne (2 Kings 15:25).
		According to the book of kings, seventeen years after this he entered into an alliance with Rezin, king of the Arameans, and took part with him in a siege of Jerusalem (2 Kings 15:37; 16:5).

		He is first mentioned in Scripture, however, as gaining a victory over Pekah, king of Israel, and Rezin of Damascus, who were confederates.

	2 Kings 15:30 and Pekah
		The issue is that history does not allow room for Pekah to have room for a reign of 20 years; otherwise, it runs hard into the Assyrian invasion in 722, and Pekah runs out of time.
		The second verse would be more problematic, on the surface; but it is not: It suggests rather than 16:1 was the first passage corrupted, and that an even later scribe would have changed 15:27 to adjust (reasoning that a king with a 17th year could hardly have reigned for only two years!).
		"Pekah did reign 20 years; he was head of a rebel faction for a good part of that." This solution, offered by Thiele, and elaborated upon by Cook in the 1964 edition of Vetus Testamentum (of which, Beegle seems unaware, though it was written before he wrote).

		This bodyguard we suppose to have been under the command of three captains, one of whom was Pekah, the leader of the rebellion.

		5-15, Pekah raided Judah and carried to Samaria an enormous number of captives; but, rebuked by the prophet Oded and by some of the prominent men, he released them and sent them back.
		One of Tiglath-pileser's inscriptions says: "Pekah, their king, they slew; Hoshea [Ausi] I appointed ruler over them." The inference here is that the people, seeing the inevitable outcome of the contest with Assyria, put out of the way their fighting king, and then yielded submission to the conqueror, Tiglath-pileser III.
		At the accession of Pekahiah, Pekah and his valiant followers may have offered their services to the king at Samaria.

	Volume VII Chap 8 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The text leaves it somewhat doubtful whether Rezin actually fought a pitched battle against a Judaean army, such as was evidently won by Pekah (2 Chronicles 28:6), or else the "smiting" of the Syrians spoken of in ver.
		But we conjecture that after the losses inflicted by Rezin in the south, and the bloody victory gained by Pekah in the north, the two armies marched upon Jerusalem, (2 Kings 16:5), with the object of deposing Ahaz.
		We do not fail to perceive in this record boastful exaggerations by the Assyrian monarch, since, although the revolution which cost Pekah his life (2 Kings 15:30) was no doubt occasioned by the victories of Tiglath-pileser, yet the Israelitish king fell by the hand of Hoshea, the leader of the rising.

		Pekah and Rezin decided to attack Judah to topple the government of Ahaz and to plant the son of Tabeel (who was probably Ahaz’s step-brother from some Aramaean princess) on the throne of Judah as a puppet king.
		It was probably with the connivance of Tiglath-pileser that Pekah was assassinated by Hoshea, who usurped the throne for himself and was confirmed in his office by the Assyrian king.
		Pekah himself, now fallen into the position of Assyrian vassal, was of course compelled to abstain from further attacks on Judah.

		It includes four indisputable components: (1) But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, (2) and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the kings' house (3) and with him fifty men of the Gileadites; (4) and he killed him, and reigned in his room.
		It is possible then, that Pekah was in charge of an administrative district, which included regions in the Bashan and in the Gilead, much like the son of Geber in the time of Solomon.
		In light of the tight and unique bonds between Pekah and Rezin (which probably began prior to Pekah's coronation: see 2 Kgs 15,37), it is unreasonable to conclude that the Gilead was torn away from Israel and annexed to Damascus, in the time of Pekah.
