📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of 2 Kings, the Northern Kingdom of Israel was plagued by political instability and frequent assassinations, as seen in the reign of Zechariah, who was the son of Jeroboam II and ruled briefly before being killed. Shallum, a conspirator, murdered Zechariah in public to seize the throne, reflecting the ongoing cycle of violence and divine judgment prophesied against Israel's unfaithful kings for their idolatry and disobedience to God. This event underscores the broader narrative of God's warnings through prophets like Hosea and Amos about the consequences of national sin.
