מלכים ב, פרק י״ד, פסוק כ״ט

The passing of a king naturally brings a shift in leadership as the crown transfers to his heir. Following the death of Jeroboam, his son Zechariah assumes control of the kingdom. This specific transition of power represents a major historical milestone. Zechariah stands as the fifth generation descending directly from Jehu, the original founder of this royal dynasty [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
