Pekahiah, king of Israel, whom he slew, with the aid of a band of
Gileadites, and succeeded (B.C. 758) on the throne (2 Kings 15:25).
Seventeen years after this he entered into an alliance with Rezin, king of
Syria, and took part with him in besieging Jerusalem (2 Kings 15:37; 16:5).
But Tiglath-pilser, who was in alliance with Ahaz, king of Judah, came up
against Pekah, and carried away captive many of the inhabitants of his
kingdom (2 Kings 15:29). This was the beginning of the ?Captivity.? Soon

usurped the throne (2 Kings 15:30; 16:1-9. Comp. Isaiah 7:16; 8:4; 9:12).
He is supposed by some to have been the ?shephard? mentioned in
Zechariah 11:16.
