Reconciling II Kings 15:8

II Kings 15:8 states, In the thirty and eighty year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

If all scriptures are taken at face value, and are correctly understood, Zachariah must have begun his reign in the 38th year of the reign of Azariah, King of Judah, just as the Bible states.

I Kings 15:12 – 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.

The four generations of Jehu are:

Jehoahaz

Jeroboam

Jehoash, or Joash

Zachariah

God will always keep his word, regardless of circumstances. We should never doubt or fear concerning God’s integrity. When the people of God are not faithful to God, he will still keep his word. We should all be very careful to understand the promises of God for in those promises is the way to be faithful to God.
