2 Kings 15:8-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

Zechariah Son of Jeroboam, King of Israel

⁸ In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam ruled as king over Israel in Samaria for six months. ⁹ He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his fathers had done. He did not turn from the sins which Jeroboam son of Nebat caused Israel to commit. ¹⁰ Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against him. He struck him down in front of the people and killed him. Then he became king in his place.

¹¹ As for the rest of Zechariah’s acts, you can find them written in the annals of the kings of Israel. ¹² This was the word of the Lord which he had spoken to Jehu: “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.” And that is what happened.
