Contradictions and Paradoxes in 2 Kings 15:31

"This was the word of the Lord which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass." - 2 Kings 15:31 describes the reign of Pekah, and the fulfillment of God's promise to Jehu was already completed.

"And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead." - Contradiction in the continuity of the throne for Jehu's descendants while 2 Kings 15:31 talks about Pekah's conspiracy.

"For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord, and made them sin a great sin." - Pekah's reign in 2 Kings 15:31 is seen as a continuation of the sin against the house of David, contradicting the promised stability in Davidic covenant described elsewhere.

"And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein." - This verse describes ongoing sinfulness as consistent with Israel’s kings, in contrast with any notion of righteous reform implied by divine judgment or promises.
