8 In the thirty-eighth year of King Azaryah’s reign over Yehudah, Yarave’am’s son Zekaryah became king over Israel and ruled for six months from Shomron (Samaria). 9 He did what Yahweh had said was evil, just as his ancestors had done—he didn’t avoid the kinds of behaviour that had been done by Nebat’s son Yarave’am who had caused Israel to sin. 10 Then Yavesh’s son Shallum plotted to assassinate him, and he attacked him in front of the people and killed him, and he replaced him as king.

11 Everything else that Zekaryah said and did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel.

12 Previously Yahweh had told King Yehu that his descendants would sit on the throne for four generations, and that had come true.[ref]
