2 Kings 15:14 meaning and explanation
Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah to Samaria, struck down and killed Shallum son of Jabesh, and reigned in his place.
2 Kings 15:14, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Menahem son of Gadi marched from Tirzah to Samaria and killed Shallum, who had himself seized the throne only a month earlier by murdering Zechariah. The narrator reports this without comment, but it fits the pattern of 2 Kings 15, where Israel's throne changes hands through one violent conspiracy after another.
