Jeroboam II King of Israel

²³ In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam^(A) son of Jehoash king of Israel became king in Samaria, and he reigned forty-one years. ²⁴ He did evil in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.^{(B) 25} He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath^(C) to the Dead Sea,^[a](D) in accordance with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah^(E) son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.

¹³ Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall^(A) of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate^(B) to the Corner Gate^(C)—a section about four hundred cubits long.^{[a] 14} He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace. He also took hostages and returned to Samaria.
