⁸ Zechariah son of Jeroboam ruled over Samaria in Israel for six months. This was during the 38th year that Azariah was king of Judah. ⁹ Zechariah did what the Lord said was wrong. He did the same things his ancestors did. He did not stop committing the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin. ¹⁰ Shallum son of Jabesh made plans against Zechariah. Shallum killed Zechariah in Ibleam. Shallum became the new king. ¹¹ All the other things that Zechariah did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Israel. ¹² In this way the Lord 's word came true. He had told Jehu that four generations of his descendants would be kings of Israel. ¹³ Shallum son of Jabesh became king of Israel during the 39th year that Uzziah was king of Judah. Shallum ruled for one month in Samaria. ¹⁴ Menahem son of Gadi came up from Tirzah to Samaria and killed Shallum son of Jabesh. Then Menahem became the new king after him. ¹⁵ All the things Shallum did, including his plans against Zechariah, are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Israel. ¹⁶ Menahem defeated Tiphsah and the area around it.
