The Message

Zechariah of Israel

^8-9 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in Samaria. He lasted only six months. He lived a bad life before God, no different from his ancestors. He continued in the line of Jeroboam son of Nebat who led Israel into a life of sin.

¹⁰ Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against him, assassinated him in public view, and took over as king.
