King Zechariah (Israel) (jan 1, 753 BC – dec 1, 753 BC)
Description:
Zechariah ruled only six months and continued the sins of his ancestors. He was assassinated by Shallum, marking the end of Jehu’s dynasty—fulfilling the prophecy that Jehu’s line would last four generations. His brief reign reflects the increasing instability of the northern kingdom as it neared its collapse.
