2 Kings 15:1-7
The word of the Lord spoken to Jehu was fulfilled:"Your descendants will set on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation." Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned six months.
Azariah a good king, reigns 52 years, including a time as co-regent. Azariah is a strong king, defeating the Philistines and Arabs and reducing Ammon to a vassal state. But pride brings him to an unpleasant end.
Zechariah rules six months assassinated by Shallum rules only one month before his assassination by Menahem.
After Jehu's descendant, there were not stable leader in Israel for they did not turn away from the sins and had caused Israel to commit.
Why?
Woe to you, O destroyer, you who have not been destroyed!
Woe to you, O traitor, you who have not been betrayed!
When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed;
when you stop betraying, you will be betrayed. (Isaiah 33:1)
Kings of Israel has assassination again and again.
How?
Fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Our God is righteous and full of mercy.
I am glad that I could be blessed by the Lord and be one of his sons.
