¹⁵ As for the other events of the reign of Jehoash, what he did and his achievements, including his war^(A) against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? ¹⁶ Jehoash rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam his son succeeded him as king.

¹⁷ Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.

²² He was the one who rebuilt Elath^(A) and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.

Jeroboam II King of Israel

²³ In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam^(B) 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.^{(C) 25} He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath^(D) to the Dead Sea,^[a](E) in accordance with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah^(F) son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.

²⁶ The Lord had seen how bitterly everyone in Israel, whether slave or free,^(G) was suffering;^[b](H) there was no one to help them.^{(I) 27} And since the Lord had not said he would blot out^(J) the name of Israel from under heaven, he saved^(K) them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
