2 Kings 15:6-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. The remainder of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?

7. So Azariah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David, and Jotham his son became king in his place.

8. In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria for six months.

9. He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh as his ancestors had done. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat which he caused Israel to sin.

10. Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, struck him in front of the people, killed him, and reigned in his place.

11. Now the remainder of the acts of Zechariah, look, they are written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel.

12. This is the word of Yahweh which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Sons of a fourth generation shall sit for you on the throne of Israel,” and it was so.

13. Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned a full month in Samaria.

14. Then Menahem the son of Gadi came up from Tirzah, and he came to Samaria and struck down Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria and killed him. Then he became king in place of him.

15. Now the remainder of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he conspired; look, they are written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel.
