And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
The record belongs to the reign of Zachariah as king of Israel, coming after Jeroboam II and before Shallum. He was of the line started by Jehu, which terminated with Shallum. His place lies within the continuous line of Israel's kings running from Joram to Hoshea. That line came to its close when Shalmaneser of Assyria invaded, and Sargon finished the conquest and took the tribes away captive.
The whole succession shows a course of turning away from God into idolatry that brought about the kingdom's ruin, with Zachariah following Jeroboam II in that downward course.
