2 Kings 15:8–16

Zechariah Reigns in Israel

⁸In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, ^hZechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months. ⁹And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, ⁱas his fathers had done; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. ¹⁰Then Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and ^jstruck and killed him in front of the people; and he reigned in his place.

¹¹Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

¹²This was the word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu, saying, ^k“Your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” And so it was.

Shallum Reigns in Israel

¹³Shallum the son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year of ³Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria. ¹⁴For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from ^lTirzah, came to Samaria, and struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria and killed him; and he reigned in his place.

¹⁵Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and the conspiracy which he ⁴led, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. ¹⁶Then from Tirzah, Menahem attacked ^mTiphsah, all who were there, and its territory. Because they did not surrender, therefore he attacked it. All ⁿthe women there who were with child he ripped open.
