Quick answer
Jeroboam II dies and is buried with Israel's kings, and his son Zechariah succeeds him.
Overview
The death of Jeroboam II ends the era of the northern kingdom's greatness; with his son Zechariah, Jehu's dynasty reaches its promised fourth generation (10:30; 15:12). After this, Israel descends into rapid political chaos and assassination. The transition marks the beginning of the end for the northern kingdom, whose prosperity masked a fatal spiritual decay.
