What happened to Zechariah is what the Lord said would happen. He had spoken that message to Jehu. The Lord had said,“ Your sons after you will sit on the throne of Israel. They will rule until the time of your children’s grandchildren.”( 2 Kings 10:30)

这是从前耶和华应许耶户说：“你的子孙必坐以色列的国位直到四代。”这话果然应验了。

这就是耶和华应许耶户的话：“你的子孙必坐以色列的王位，直到第四代。”这事果然发生了。

这就是耶和华应许耶户的话：“你的子孙必坐以色列的王位，直到第四代。”这事果然发生了。

这件事应验了从前耶和华对耶户的应许：“你的子孙必做以色列王，一直到第四代。”

这就是耶和华曾论到有关耶户的话说：“你的子孙必坐在以色列的王位上，直到第四代。”这话果然应验了。

這是從前耶和華應許耶戶說：「你的子孫必坐以色列的國位直到四代。」這話果然應驗了。

這就是耶和華應許耶戶的話：「你的子孫必坐以色列的王位，直到第四代。」這事果然發生了。

這就是耶和華應許耶戶的話：「你的子孫必坐以色列的王位，直到第四代。」這事果然發生了。

這件事應驗了從前耶和華對耶戶的應許：「你的子孫必做以色列王，一直到第四代。」

這就是耶和華曾論到有關耶戶的話說：“你的子孫必坐在以色列的王位上，直到第四代。”這話果然應驗了。

這是永恆主的話、他對耶戶所說過的說：『你的子孫四代必坐以色列的王位』：果然如此。

昔耶和華諭耶戶曰、爾之子孫、必踐以色列國位、迄於四代、此言應矣、○

昔耶和華諭耶戶曰、爾之子孫、必踐以色列國位、爰及四代、今此言應矣。○

昔主諭耶戶曰、爾子孫必繼爾坐以色列國位、直至四代、今此言應矣、○

So the word of the Lord spoken to Jehu was fulfilled:“ Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”

( This was the promise of the Lord that he gave to Jehu,“ Your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” And so it came to pass.)

So the Lord’s message to Jehu came true:“ Your descendants will be kings of Israel down to the fourth generation.”

The word of the LORD that he spoke to Jehu was,“ Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel,” and it was so.

This is the word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu, saying,“ Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” And so it was.

This was the word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu, saying,“ Your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” And so it was.

This was the word of Jehovah which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel. And so it came to pass.

The word of the Lord that He spoke to Jehu was,“ Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel,” and it was so.

This[ was] the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth[ generation]. And so it came to pass.

His assassination brought to fulfillment the LORD’s word to Jehu,“ Four generations of your descendants will rule over Israel.” That is exactly what happened.

This was Yahweh’s word which he spoke to Jehu, saying,“ Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.

The Lord said to Jehu,“ You have done well. You have accomplished what is right in my eyes. You have done to Ahab’s royal house everything I wanted you to do. So your sons after you will sit on the throne of Israel. They will rule until the time of your children’s grandchildren.”

Jeroboam joined the members of his family who had already died. He was buried in the royal tombs of Israel. Jeroboam’s son Zechariah became the next king after him.

I commanded my servants the prophets what to say. I told them what I planned to do. But your people refused to obey me. So I had to punish them.“ Then they had a change of heart. They said,‘ The Lord who rules over all has punished us because of how we have lived. He was fair and right to do that. He has done to us just what he decided to do.’ ”

These things happened in order that Scripture would come true. It says,“ Not one of his bones will be broken.”( Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20)Scripture also says,“ They will look to the one they have pierced.”( Zechariah 12:10)

Jehu spoke to Bidkar, his chariot officer. Jehu said,“ Pick Joram up. Throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth from Jezreel. Remember how you and I were riding together in chariots behind Joram’s father Ahab? It was when the Lord spoke this prophecy against him. The Lord announced,‘ Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons. You can be sure that I will make you pay for it on this piece of land.’ So pick Joram up. Throw him on that piece of land. That’s what the Lord said would happen.”

“ Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another.“ Let’s cast lots to see who will get it.” This happened so that Scripture would come true. It says,“ They divided up my clothes among them. They cast lots for what I was wearing.”( Psalm 22:18) So that is what the soldiers did.

Heaven and earth will pass away. But my words will never pass away.

Jehoash became king of Israel in Samaria. It was in the 37th year that Joash was king of Judah. Jehoash ruled for 16 years. He was the son of Jehoahaz.

Peter said,“ Brothers and sisters, a long time ago the Holy Spirit spoke through David. He spoke about Judas Iscariot. What the Scripture said would happen had to come true. Judas was the guide for the men who arrested Jesus.

Jehoash joined the members of his family who had already died. He was buried in the royal tombs in Samaria. Jeroboam became the next king on Israel’s throne after him.

God isn’t a mere human. He can’t lie. He isn’t a human being. He doesn’t change his mind. He speaks, and then he acts. He makes a promise, and then he keeps it.

We know that Scripture is always true. God spoke to some people and called them‘ gods.’

They went back and reported it to Jehu. He told them,“ That’s what the Lord said would happen. He announced it through his servant Elijah, who was from Tishbe. He said,‘ On a piece of land at Jezreel, dogs will eat up Jezebel’s body.Her body will end up as garbage on that piece of land. So no one will be able to say,“ Here’s where Jezebel is buried.” ’ ”

Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria. It was in the 23rd year of the rule of Joash, the king of Judah. Jehoahaz ruled for 17 years. Joash was the son of Ahaziah. Jehoahaz was the son of Jehu.

I want you to know that the Lord has spoken against Ahab’s royal house. Not a word of what he has said will fail. The Lord has done exactly what he announced through his servant Elijah.”
