7 Azariah lay down in death with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His son Jotham succeeded him as king.
8 In Azariah’s thirty-eighth year as king of Judah, Jer o boam’s son Zechariah was king of Israel in Samaria for six months.
9 He did what the Lord considered evil, as his ancestors had done. He didn’t turn away from the sins that Jer o boam (Nebat’s son) led Israel to commit.
10 Shallum, son of Jabesh, plotted against Zechariah, attacked him at Kabal Am, killed him, and succeeded him as king.
11 Everything else about Zechariah is written in the official records of the kings of Israel.
12 It happened exactly as the Lord had told Jehu: “Four generations of your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel.”
13 Shallum, son of Jabesh, became king in Azariah’s thirty-ninth year as king of Judah. Shallum ruled for an entire month in Samaria.
