God’s Word Translation
2 Kings 15:8-15
8In Azariah’s thirty-eighth year as king of Judah, Jeroboam’s son Zechariah was king of Israel in Samaria for six months.
9He did what the Lord considered evil, as his ancestors had done. He didn’t turn away from the sins that Jeroboam (Nebat’s son) led Israel to commit.
10Shallum, son of Jabesh, plotted against Zechariah, attacked him at Kabal Am, killed him, and succeeded him as king.
11Everything else about Zechariah is written in the official records of the kings of Israel.
12It happened exactly as the Lord had told Jehu: “Four generations of your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel.”
13Shallum, son of Jabesh, became king in Azariah’s thirty-ninth year as king of Judah. Shallum ruled for an entire month in Samaria.
14Then Menahem, son of Gadi, came from Tirzah to Samaria, attacked Shallum (son of Jabesh), killed him, and succeeded him as king.
15Everything else about Shallum—all about his conspiracy—is written in the official records of the kings of Israel.
