King Pekahiah (Israel) (jan 1, 742 BC – jan 1, 740 BC)
Description:
Pekahiah inherited a fragile kingdom but ruled only briefly before being assassinated by Pekah, one of his own officers. He maintained the same idolatrous practices and did not address the political or spiritual crisis of the nation. His short reign reflects the ongoing instability and weakening of royal authority.Added to timeline:
