2 Kings 15:8-16

[8] In the thirty  and eighth  year  of Azariah  king  of Judah  did Zachariah  the son  of Jeroboam  reign  over Israel  in Samaria  six  months.  [9] And he did  that which was evil  in the sight  of the LORD,  as his fathers  had done:  he departed  not from the sins  of Jeroboam  the son  of Nebat,  who made Israel  to sin.  [10] And Shallum  the son  of Jabesh  conspired  against him, and smote  the people,  and slew  him, and reigned  [11] And the rest  of the acts  of Zachariah,  behold, they are written  in the book  of the chronicles  of the kings  of Israel.  [12] This was the word  of the LORD  which he spake  unto Jehu,  saying,  Thy sons  shall sit  on the throne  of Israel  unto the fourth  generation. And so it came to pass. [13] Shallum  the son  of Jabesh  began to reign  in the nine  and thirtieth  year  of Uzziah  king  of Judah;  and he reigned  a full  month  in Samaria.  [14] For Menahem  the son  of Gadi  went up  from Tirzah,  and came  to Samaria,  and smote  Shallum  the son  of Jabesh  in Samaria,  and slew  him, and reigned  [15] And the rest  of the acts  of Shallum,  and his conspiracy  which he made,  behold, they are written  in the book  of the chronicles  of the kings  of Israel.  [16] Then Menahem  smote  Tiphsah,  and all that were therein, and the coasts  thereof from Tirzah:  because they opened  not to him, therefore he smote  it; and all the women therein that were with child  he ripped up.
