  Zachariah 
  remembered  by  the  Lord.  (1.)  Son  of  Jeroboam  II.,  king  of 
  Israel.  On  the  death  of  his  father  there  was  an  interregnum  of 
  ten  years,  at  the  end  of  which  he  succeeded  to  the  throne,  which 
  he  occupied  only  six  months,  having  been  put  to  death  by 
  Shallum,  who  usurped  the  throne.  "He  did  that  which  was  evil  in 
  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  as  his  fathers  had  done"  (2  Kings  14:29; 
  15:8-12).  In  him  the  dynasty  of  Jehu  came  to  an  end 
 
  (2.)  The  father  of  Abi,  who  was  the  mother  of  Hezekiah  (2 
  Kings  18:2).
