Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — Zechariah Reigns in Israel
9And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
10Then Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah, struck him down and killed him in front of the people, and reigned in his place.
11As for the rest of the acts of Zechariah, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
12So the word of the LORD spoken to Jehu was fulfilled: “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.” 13In the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah’s reign over Judah, Shallum son of Jabesh became king, and he reigned in Samaria one full month.Cross References

2 Kings 15:11 Summary
This verse tells us that there is more to Zechariah's story than what we read here, and that the rest of his actions are recorded in another book. It's like when we read a chapter in a book, but there are more chapters that come before and after it that help us understand the whole story. The Bible is like that, with many stories and events that all fit together to show us God's love and plan for us (Romans 11:33, Psalm 139:16). By reading and studying the Bible, we can gain a deeper understanding of God's sovereignty and love for us.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that the rest of Zechariah's acts are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
This phrase indicates that there is more information about Zechariah's reign available in another historical record, similar to how other kings' actions are recorded in First Kings 14:19 and Second Chronicles 33:18.
Why does the Bible include this kind of detail about Zechariah's life?
The Bible includes these details to provide a complete picture of Israel's history and to demonstrate God's sovereignty over all events, as seen in Isaiah 46:10 and Romans 11:33.
How does this verse fit into the larger context of Second Kings?
This verse serves as a transition, concluding the discussion of Zechariah's reign and preparing the reader for the next king, Shallum, as well as the fulfillment of the prophecy spoken to Jehu in Second Kings 10:30.
What can we learn from the fact that Zechariah's story is not fully told in this verse?
We can learn that God is concerned with the entirety of our lives, not just the highlights, as seen in Psalm 139:16, and that our stories are part of a larger narrative that is still being written.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse teach us about the importance of recording and remembering our history, and how can we apply this to our own lives?
- How can we trust that God is working in our lives, even when we don't see the full picture, as Zechariah's story is not fully told in this verse?
- What does this verse reveal about God's character, particularly in relation to His sovereignty over human events?
- In what ways can we, like the biblical authors, be mindful of the larger story that God is writing, and how can we participate in it?

2 Kings 15:11 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.Ver. 11. And the rest of the acts.] See 1 Kings 14:19.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 15:11
11. And [R.V. Now] the rest of the acts of Zachariah] We can see from the language of the prophet Amos that the corruption of Israel was very great at this time, and that the nation appeared incorrigible. In these excesses Zechariah no doubt bore his share. Hence the shortness of his reign.
