Shallum, King of Israel (jan 21, 752 BC – dec 16, 752 BC)
Description:
Shallum is the only king of the divided kingdom of Israel for which we have no definite statement that his deeds were good or evil. However, he came to power through a conspiracy that included murdering the previous king, Zachariah.1 For this reason, we surmise that his brief reign was, like every other king of divided Israel except Jehu, evil.2 Kings 15
Shullum killed Zachariah for the throne
