列王紀下15:8-12

 

15:8 猶大王亞撒利雅三十八年，耶羅波安的兒子撒迦利雅在撒馬利亞作以色列王六個月。
15:9 他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他列祖所行的，不離開尼八的兒子耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪裡的那罪。
15:10 雅比的兒子沙龍背叛他，在百姓面前擊殺他，篡了他的位。
15:11 撒迦利雅其餘的事都寫在以色列諸王記上。
15:12 這是從前耶和華應許耶戶說：「你的子孫必坐以色列的國位直到四代。」這話果然應驗了。

 

⁸ In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned six months. ⁹ He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his predecessors had done. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.

¹⁰ Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah. He attacked him in front of the people,^[d] assassinated him and succeeded him as king. ¹¹ The other events of Zechariah’s reign are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel. ¹² So the word of the Lord spoken to Jehu was fulfilled: “Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”

    耶戶王朝雖然只有四代，卻是以色列王國最蒙上帝眷顧的時候，因為耶戶勇敢起來，破壞了一切拜巴力的勢力，使上帝的公義展現出來！但是他們仍然拜金牛犢，不蒙上帝喜悅！
