House of Gadi

(Italics indicate a disputedreign or non-royal title) The House of Gadi was a dynasty of kings of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.

The dynasty lasted for only twelve years and ruled from Israel's then-capital of Samaria.

The dynasty is so named because Menahem was the son of Gadi.

[2] Pekahiah became king in the fiftieth year of Azariah's reign.

[3] After a reign of two years, Pekahiah was assassinated by Pekah ben Remaliah - a captain from his own army - with the help of fifty men from Gilead.
