Shallum of Israel

Shallum
King of Israel
Predecessor	Zechariah of Israel
Successor	Menahem

Shallum of Israel (Hebrew: שלום בן יבש‎‎), name meaning "retribution", was the king of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, and the son of Jabesh.

Originally a captain in the army of King Zechariah, Shallum "conspired against Zechariah, and smote him before the people; and slew him, and reigned in his stead" (2 Kings 15:10). He reigned only "a month of days in Samaria" (2 Kings 15:13) before Menahem—another captain from Zechariah's army—rose up and put Shallum to death (2 Kings 15:14–17). Menahem then became king in Shallum's stead.

William F. Albright has dated his reign to 745 BC, while Hooker says 747.E.R. Thiele offers the date 752 BC.
