8 *In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did ||Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months. 9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, gwho made Israel to sin. 10 *And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and ||smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 11 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 12 This was hthe word of the Lord which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.

13 *Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of ||Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned †a full month in Samaria. 14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from kTirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
