^15 (A)Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash that he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? ¹⁶ And Jehoash slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.

^17 (B)Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

²² He built ^(A)Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.

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, ^(B)which he made Israel to sin. ^25 (C)He restored the border of Israel ^(D)from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of ^(E)the Arabah, according to the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant ^(F)Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from ^(G)Gath-hepher. ²⁶ For the Lord ^(H)saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter, ^(I)for there was none left, bond or free, and there was none to help Israel. ^27 (J)But 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.
