John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him,.... A friend of his, as Josephus calls him, encouraged by the dissatisfaction of the people to him:and smote him before the people, and slew him; in a public manner, the people consenting to it, and approving of it, not liking Zachariah to be their king;and reigned in his stead; though but a very short time.

Antiqu. l. 9. c. 11. sect.
