2 Kings 15:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 15:12

This was the word of the Lord which he spake unto Jehu
Which was now fulfilled in the short reign of Zachariah:

saying, thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth
generation;
see ( 2 Kings 10:30 ) , and so it came to pass; as every word of the Lord does, not one fails; for after Jehu reigned Jehoahaz, Jehoash, Jeroboam the second, and Zachariah, all descendants of Jehu.
