| Previous King: Jeroboam II | Next King: Shallum |
The Bible provides only the briefest sketch of the career of Zachariah, 14th king of the separate kingdom of Israel. He was the son and successor of Jeroboam II, and the fifth and last king from the family of King Jehu, fulfilling God's promise to Jehu. He had reigned for only six months when one Shallum murdered him in public and succeeded him as king. Zachariah continued the sins of the first Jeroboam.
