Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ In the thirty–eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, began Zechariah son of Jeroboam to reign over Israel, in Samaria, [and he reigned] six months. ⁹ And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, as did his fathers,––he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit. ¹⁰ Then conspired against him, Shallum son of Jabesh, and smote him before the people, and slew him,––and reigned in his stead. ¹¹ Now, the rest of the story of Zechariah, behold it! written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. ¹² That, was the word of Yahweh, which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons, to four generations, shall sit on the throne of Israel. And it was so!
