2 Kings 15:8-14

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah, king of Judah, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel in Samaria (for six months),

⁹ and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did his fathers. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin.

¹⁰ And Shallum, the son of Jabesh, conspired against him and struck him, in the sight of the people, and killed him and reigned in his place.

¹¹ Concerning the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

¹² This was the Word of the LORD which He spoke to Jehu, saying: “Your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation after you.” And it was so.

¹³ Shallum, the son of Jabesh, began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah, king of Judah. And he reigned in Samaria for the space of a month.

¹⁴ For Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah and came to Samaria and struck Shallum, the son of Jabesh, in Samaria, and killed him and reigned in his place.
