2 Kings 15:8-15
Zechariah over Israel
8 aIn the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in Samaria for six months. 9He did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his fathers had done; he did not desist from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, into which he misled Israel. 10Then Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and bstruck him in the presence of the people and ▼▼Lit struck
killed him, and reigned in his place. 11Now as for the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 12This is dthe word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” And so it was. 13 Shallum the son of Jabesh became king in the ethirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned for ▼▼Lit a month of days
one month in gSamaria. 14Then Menahem the son of Gadi went up from hTirzah and came to Samaria, and struck Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, and killed him and became king in his place. 15Now as for the rest of the acts of Shallum and his conspiracy which he formed, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
