About Zechariah (2 Chronicles 26:5)

An extremely popular name in the Bible. "Zechariah" means “the Lord remembers.”

The son of King Jeroboam II, 15th king of Israel, and the last king from the Jehu’s dynasty. He began his rule in 753 BC, the 38th year of Azariah’s reign in Judah (792–740 BC). Zechariah ruled in Samaria for only six months before he was murdered by Shallum at Ibleam (2 Kings 14:29; 15:8–11). The Lord promised Jehu that his descendants would rule to the fourth generation (2 Kings 10:30). This promise was fulfilled with Zechariah’s reign.
