Contextual Overview
8In the thirty-eighth year of Judah’s King Azariah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria for six months. 9He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit. 10Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah. He struck him down publicly, killed him, and became king in his place. 11As for the rest of the events of Zechariah’s reign, they are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings. 12The word of the Lord that he spoke to Jehu was, “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel,” and it was so. 13In the thirty-ninth year of Judah’s King Uzziah, Shallum son of Jabesh became king; he reigned in Samaria a full month. 14Then Menahem son of Gadi came up from Tirzah to Samaria and struck down Shallum son of Jabesh there. He killed him and became king in his place. 15As for the rest of the events of Shallum’s reign, along with the conspiracy that he formed, they are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings. 16At that time, starting from Tirzah, Menahem attacked Tiphsah, all who were in it, and its territory because they wouldn’t surrender. He ripped open all the pregnant women. 17In the thirty-ninth year of Judah’s King Azariah, Menahem son of Gadi became king over Israel, and he reigned ten years in Samaria.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him,.... A friend of his, as Josephus q calls him, encouraged by the dissatisfaction of the people to him:
and smote him before the people, and slew him; in a public manner, the people consenting to it, and approving of it, not liking Zachariah to be their king;
and reigned in his stead; though but a very short time.
q Antiqu. l. 9. c. 11. sect. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Before the people - i. e. openly and publicly. The Septuagint turns the original of the above words into a proper name, Keblaam, and makes him the actual assassin, but without much ground.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 15:10. Smote him before the people — In some public assembly: he probably became very unpopular.
