Zechariah Reigns in Israel
8In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months. 9And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, awhich he made Israel to sin. 10Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him and bstruck him down at Ibleam and put him to death and reigned in his place. 11Now the rest of the deeds of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 12(This was cthe promise of the Lord that he gave to Jehu, “Your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” And so it came to pass.)Shallum Reigns in Israel
13Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of dUzziah ▼▼Another name for Azariah
king of Judah, and he reigned one month in fSamaria. 14Then Menahem the son of Gadi came up from gTirzah and came to Samaria, and he struck down Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria and put him to death and reigned in his place. 15Now the rest of the deeds of Shallum, and the conspiracy that he made, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 16At that time Menahem sacked Tiphsah and all who were in it and its territory from Tirzah on, because they did not open it to him. Therefore he sacked it, hand he ripped open all the women in it who were pregnant. 2 Kings 15:25
25And Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him with fifty men of the people of Gilead, and struck him down in Samaria, in the citadel of the king’s house with Argob and Arieh; he put him to death and reigned in his place.Micah 7:2
2 iThe godly has perished from the earth,and jthere is no one upright among mankind;
kthey all lie in wait for blood,
and leach hunts the other with a net.
