King Zechariah of Israel (2KI 15:8-12)

[15:8] In the thirty-eighth year of the reign of King Uzziah of Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam II became king of Israel, and he ruled in Samaria for six months.

[15:9] He, like his predecessors, sinned against the Lord. He followed the wicked example of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, who led Israel into sin.

[15:10] Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against King Zechariah, assassinated him at Ibleam, and succeeded him as king.

[15:11] Everything else that Zechariah did is recorded in The History of the Kings of Israel.

[15:12] So the promise was fulfilled which the Lord had made to King Jehu: “Your descendants down to the fourth generation will be kings of Israel.”
