Description
Who was Shallum?
Shallum, mentioned in 2Ki.15.10-15, was the son of Jabesh who became the king of Israel after conspiring against and assassinating Zechariah, the previous king. Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam II, had reigned over Israel for only six months before Shallum killed him and took the throne. Shallum's reign, however, was short-lived, lasting only one month. Menahem, the son of Gadi, rose up against Shallum, attacked and killed him in Samaria, and succeeded him as king. The conspiracy and assassination carried out by Shallum reflect the political instability and violence that characterized the later years of the northern kingdom of Israel. Shallum's brief reign and his own demise demonstrate the tumultuous nature of the monarchy during this period.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
