New Living Translation
2 Kings 15:8-15
8Zechariah son of Jeroboam II began to rule over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of King Uzziah’s reign in Judah. He reigned in Samaria six months.
9Zechariah did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, as his ancestors had done. He refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had led Israel to commit.
10Then Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah, assassinated him in public, and became the next king.
11The rest of the events in Zechariah’s reign are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Israel.
12So the Lord’s message to Jehu came true: “Your descendants will be kings of Israel down to the fourth generation.”
13Shallum son of Jabesh began to rule over Israel in the thirty-ninth year of King Uzziah’s reign in Judah. Shallum reigned in Samaria only one month.
14Then Menahem son of Gadi went to Samaria from Tirzah and assassinated him, and he became the next king.
15The rest of the events in Shallum’s reign, including his conspiracy, are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Israel.
