The expression "rested with his fathers" is a common biblical euphemism for death, suggesting a peaceful passing and burial with ancestors. Jeroboam II's reign was marked by military success and territorial expansion, as recorded in <a href="/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23-28</a>. His rule brought a period of prosperity to Israel, though it was also a time of spiritual decline, as the people continued in the sins of Jeroboam I, who led Israel into idolatry (<a href="/1_kings/12-28.htm">1 Kings 12:28-30</a>). The mention of "the kings of Israel" places Jeroboam II within the northern kingdom's lineage, distinct from the southern kingdom of Judah. This distinction is crucial in understanding the divided monarchy period in Israel's history, which began after Solomon's reign.<p><b>And his son Zechariah reigned in his place.</b><br>Zechariah's ascension to the throne marks the continuation of the Jehu dynasty, fulfilling God's promise to Jehu that his descendants would sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation (<a href="/2_kings/10-30.htm">2 Kings 10:30</a>). Zechariah's reign, however, was short-lived, lasting only six months (<a href="/2_kings/15-8.htm">2 Kings 15:8</a>). His brief rule was characterized by the same idolatry and moral decline that plagued his predecessors, leading to his assassination by Shallum (<a href="/2_kings/15-10.htm">2 Kings 15:10</a>). This transition highlights the instability and frequent regime changes in the northern kingdom during this period. Theologically, Zechariah's reign and subsequent assassination underscore the consequences of Israel's persistent disobedience to God, as prophesied by the prophets Hosea and Amos, who ministered during this era.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeroboam_ii.htm">Jeroboam II</a></b><br>He was the king of Israel who reigned for 41 years.
