5. The Lord struck Uzziah with a dreaded skin disease that stayed with him the rest of his life. He lived in a house on his own, relieved of all duties, while his son Jotham governed the country.
6. Everything else that Uzziah did is recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah.
7. Uzziah died and was buried in the royal burial ground in David's City, and his son Jotham succeeded him as king.
8. In the 38th 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, 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.”
