Like his ancestors, Zechariah disobeyed the Lord by following the evil ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused the Israelites to sin.

10 Shallum son of Jabesh plotted against Zechariah and killed him in public.[a] Shallum then became king. 11-12 (A) So the Lord had kept his promise to Jehu that the next four kings of Israel would come from his family.[b]

Everything else Zechariah did while he was king is written in The History of the Kings of Israel.
