2 KINGS—NOTE ON 2 Kings 15:8 Israel’s Last Days. The Lord had promised Jehu that his descendants would reign after him to the “fourth generation” (2 Kings 10:30). With the death of Jeroboam II and the coming of Zechariah to the throne, that fourth generation has arrived. Israel will now return to the unstable government of the days before the dynasties of Omri and Jehu (see 1 Kings 14:1). King will now follow king in quick succession.
