Context

Zechariah Reigns in Israel

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.”

Summary

This verse describes King Zechariah's reign over Israel, noting that he did evil in the sight of the Lord by following the sinful ways of Jeroboam. Zechariah's reign lasted only six months before he was assassinated by Shallum, fulfilling the prophecy of Jehu against the house of Jehu. The verse serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the fulfillment of God's word through the rise and fall of kings in Israel.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah,.... A city in the tribe of Manasseh, the royal city of the kings of Israel before Omri, of which See Gill on Jos 12:24, whether Menahem was of this city, or was now besieging it with an army he had the command of, as Josephus (r) suggests, is not certain; however, hearing what had befallen Zachariah, he came from hence: and came to Samaria; which, according to Bunting (s), was six miles from Tirzah: and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead; judging he had as good a right to the throne as Shallum had. (r) Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 9. c. 11. sect. 1.) (s) Travels, &c. p. 169.
