====== Pekah, king of Israel ======

  * Attacks Judah with [[Syria]] ([[Rezin]]) ([[Isaiah 7|Isaiah 7:1]])
  * He was a captain in the army, and with fifty men in his command, staged a coup, assassinated the king, and took the throne (He was already treacherous to start with, even before wanting to turn against Judah). [[2 Kings 15|2 Kings 15:25]]
  * He was, in turn, conspired against internally, and killed by [[Hoshea]]
