2 Kings 15:8-12
1599 Geneva Bible
8 ¶ In the eight and thirtieth year of Azariah King of Judah, did Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six [a]months,
9 And did evil in the sight of the Lord, as did his fathers: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin.
10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him, in the sight of the people, and [b]killed him, and reigned in his stead.
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 (A)word of the Lord, which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation after thee. And it came so to pass.
