King Zechariah of Israel

⁸ In the thirty-eighth year of the reign of King Uzziah of Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam II became king of Israel, and he ruled in Samaria for six months. ⁹ He, like his predecessors, sinned against the Lord. He followed the wicked example of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, who led Israel into sin. ¹⁰ Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against King Zechariah, assassinated him at Ibleam,^[a] and succeeded him as king.
