Azariah's good reign5. He dying a leper, is succeeded by Jotham 8. Zachariah the last of Jehu's generation, reigning ill, is slain by Shallum 13. Shallum, reigning a month, is slain by Nenahem 16. Menahem strengthens himself by Pul 21. Pekahiah succeeds him 23. Pekahiah is slain by Pekah 27. Pekah is oppressed by Tiglath-pileser, and slain by Hoshea 32. Jotham's good reign 36. Ahaz succeeds him In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah This phrase situates the events within a specific historical context, providing a chronological anchor. Azariah, also known as Uzziah, was a king of Judah whose reign is noted for prosperity and strength, as well as a tragic end due to pride (2 Chronicles 26). The mention of his thirty-eighth year underscores the continuity and stability in Judah, contrasting with the instability in Israel. The Hebrew root for "Azariah" means "Yahweh has helped," reflecting the divine favor and assistance that characterized much of his reign. Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king of Israel and he reigned in Samaria six months (8) In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah.--This agrees with the assumption that Jeroboam reigned fifty-one years (2Kings 14:23). Verses 8-12. - REIGN OF ZACHARIA OVER ISRAEL. FULFILLMENT OF THE PROMISE MADE JEHU. The writer has nothing to record of Zachariah but his murder by Shallum after a reign of six months. Vers. 8, 9, and 11 contain the usual formula. Ver. 10 gives the only event that needed record. Ver. 12 recalls to the reader's attention a previous passage, in which a prophecy had been mentioned, whereof Zachariah's reign was the fulfillment. Verse 8. - In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah King of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria. If Azariah began to reign in the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam (ver. 1), and Jeroboam died in his forty-first or forty-second year (2 Kings 14:23), Zachariah must have ascended the throne in the fifteenth or sixteenth year of Azariah. Even if Azariah became king in the fifteenth of Jeroboam, as has been shown to be probable (see the comment on ver. 1), Zachariah's accession cannot have been earlier than Azariah's twenty-sixth year. An interregnum between the death of Jeroboam and the accession of Zachariah is not to be thought cf. Six months. So also Josephus (see 'Ant. Jud.,' 9:11. § 1).Parallel Commentaries ...
