2 Kings 15:8-10

Expanded Bible

Zechariah King of Israel

⁸ Zechariah son of Jeroboam was king over Israel in Samaria. He ·ruled [reigned] for six months during Uzziah’s [^Calso called Azariah] thirty-eighth year as king of Judah. ⁹ Zechariah did ·what the Lord said was wrong [^Levil in the eyes/sight of the Lord], just as his ·ancestors [fathers] had done. Jeroboam son of Nebat had led the people of Israel to sin, and Zechariah did not ·stop doing [depart/turn away from] the same sins.

¹⁰ Shallum son of Jabesh ·made plans [conspired; plotted] against Zechariah and ·killed [assassinated] him in front of the people. Then Shallum became king in his place.
