2 Kings 14:23-25

New Living Translation

Jeroboam II Rules in Israel

²³ Jeroboam II, the son of Jehoash, began to rule over Israel in the fifteenth year of King Amaziah’s reign in Judah. He reigned in Samaria forty-one years. ²⁴ He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. He refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had led Israel to commit. ²⁵ Jeroboam II recovered the territories of Israel between Lebo-hamath and the Dead Sea,^[a] just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had promised through Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.
