2 Kings 15:8-12 - Zechariah In Israel

⁸ In the thirty-eighth year of Judah’s King Azariah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in Samaria for six months. ⁹ He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

¹⁰ Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah. He struck him down publicly, killed him, and became king in his place. ¹¹ As for the rest of the events of Zechariah’s reign, they are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings. ¹² The word of the Lord that He spoke to Jehu was, “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel,” and it was so.
