Pekahiah son of Menahem became king of Israel

on 2 Kings 15:23-24

Pekahiah son of Menahem became king of Israel and reigned in Samaria two years. His reign brings the formula a third time, unchanged from father to son. Each new house repeats the founding sin, and the kingdom is still measured against the calves Jeroboam set up at Bethel and Dan.

This site's exposition

the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat

John Gill called the calf worship a piece of state policy that every king of Israel kept. The reason stands at 1 Kings 12:26 to 28: Jeroboam feared that pilgrims to Jerusalem would turn back to the house of David. Pekahiah kept the same policy.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

And he did that which was evil,.... Besides other sins, he cleaved to that of worshipping the calves, a piece of state policy all the kings of Israel gave into.
