     remembered by the Lord. (1.) Son of Jeroboam II., king of
     Israel. On the death of his father there was an interregnum of
     ten years, at the end of which he succeeded to the throne, which
     he occupied only six months, having been put to death by
     Shallum, who usurped the throne. "He did that which was evil in


     the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done" (2 Kings 14:29;
     15:8-12). In him the dynasty of Jehu came to an end.
