And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 15 of 2 Kings. Shallum reigns for only one month before being assassinated by Menahem. Menahem violently suppresses resistance at Tiphsah and then faces the threat of Pul, king of Assyria. To purchase his support, he demands money from the people and pays a substantial tribute. His reign shows the combination of internal violence and external dependence characterizing Israel’s final phase. Royal power becomes increasingly precarious: rulers need extraordinary resources to sustain themselves and must acknowledge the growing influence of the Assyrian empire.

und er tat, was dem HERRN übel gefiel. Er ließ sein Leben lang nicht von den Sünden Jerobeams, des Sohnes Nebats, der Israel sündigen machte.

Hizo lo malo a los ojos de Jehová. Durante todos sus días no se apartó de los pecados de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, con los que había hecho pecar a Israel.
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l'Eternel; il ne se détourna point, tant qu'il vécut, des péchés de Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui avait fait pécher Israël.
E fece quello che dispiace al Signore; tutto il tempo della vita sua, egli non si rivolse da’ peccati di Geroboamo, figliuolo di Nebat, co’ quali egli avea fatto peccare Israele.
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR; todos os seus dias não se apartou dos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, com que fez pecar a Israel.
