10 Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against King Zechariah, assassinated him at Ibleam, and succeeded him as king.
11 Everything else that Zechariah did is recorded in The History of the Kings of Israel.
12 So the promise was fulfilled which the Lord had made to King Jehu: “Your descendants, down to the fourth generation, will be kings of Israel.”
13 In the 39th year of the reign of King Uzziah of Judah, Shallum son of Jabesh became king of Israel, and he ruled in Samaria for one month.
14 Menahem son of Gadi went from Tirzah to Samaria, assassinated Shallum, and succeeded him as king.
15 Everything else that Shallum did, including an account of his conspiracy, is recorded in The History of the Kings of Israel.
16 As Menahem was on his way from Tirzah, he completely destroyed the city of Tappuah, its inhabitants, and the surrounding territory, because the city did not surrender to him. He even ripped open the bellies of all the pregnant women.
