2 Kings 14:26-28
New King James Version
26 For the Lord (A)saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter; and whether bond or free, (B)there was no helper for Israel. 27 (C)And the Lord did not say that He would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; but He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did—his might, how he made war, and how he recaptured for Israel, from (D)Damascus and Hamath, (E)what had belonged to Judah—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

English Standard Version
26 For the Lord (A)saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter, (B)for there was none left, bond or free, and there was none to help Israel. 27 (C)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.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he restored (D)Damascus and (E)Hamath to Judah in Israel, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
