Jeroboam II Reigns in Israel

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel, [and he reigned] in Samaria forty-one years. 24 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

25 

[This Jeroboam] restored the boundary of Israel vvv from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah,[fn] according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet vvv from Gath-hepher. 26 For the LORD saw that the affliction of the Israelites, both slave [and] free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel, 27 and since the LORD had said vvv that He would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.

28 

As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

29 

And Jeroboam rested with his fathers,[fn] the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah reigned in his place. 15
