2 Kings xiv. 29.2. ZACHARIAH, King of Israel; he succeeded his Father Jeroboam II. in the Year of the World 3220, before Jesus Christ 780, before the vulgar Æra 784. He reign’d but six Months, and did evil in the Sight of the Lord. Shelium the Son of Jabesh conspired against him, set upon him, and kill’d him in publick, and then reign’d in his stead. Thus was fulfill’d what the Lord had foretold to Jehu, that his Children should sit upon the Throne of Israel to the fourth Generation.
