Home > Zachariah


 

Zachariah ("remembered by the Lord") was king of Israel and son of Jeroboam II. Albright has dated his reign to 746 - 745 BC, while Thiele offers the dates 753 - 752 BC.

The account of his reign is briefly told in 2 Kings 15:8-12. Zachariah ruled Israel only for six months before Shallum usurped the throne and put him to death, ending the dynasty of Jehu.
