1. Assyria conquers Naphtali (17-31)

Menahem was king of Israel. He plundered the wealth of his people in order to strengthen his position. Pekahiah became king, but he was murdered by Pekah. He lost the territories of Gilead and Galilee of the tribe of Naphtali to Assyria. All these kings were like Jeroboam, not serving the Lord's interests, only their own.

2. Uzziah and Jotham (32-38)

Uzziah reigned over fifty years, and his son Jotham for sixteen more. They brought stability to Judah. While they were not successful in completely eradicating idol worship, they served the temple and the worship of the Lord, and they did what was right in the eyes of the Lord.
