2 Kings 14:23-27

Jeroboam II Reigns in Israel

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, began to reign in Samaria, and he reigned forty-one years. 24 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, ^awhich he made Israel to sin. 25 ^bHe restored the border of Israel ^cfrom Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of ^dthe Arabah, according to the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant ^eJonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from ^fGath-hepher. 26 For the Lord ^gsaw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter, ^hfor there was none left, bond or free, and there was none to help Israel. 27 ⁱBut the Lord had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, so he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
