Jeroboam II Reigns over Israel
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel became king in Samaria and reigned forty-one years. 24 And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin. 25 (A)He restored the border of Israel from [a](B)Lebo-hamath as far as (C)the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel, which He spoke [b]through His servant (D)Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of (E)Gath-hepher. 26 For (F)Yahweh saw the affliction of Israel, which was very bitter; for (G)there was neither bond nor free, nor was there any helper for Israel. 27 (H)But Yahweh did not say 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.
Zechariah Reigns over Israel
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did and his might, how he fought and how he restored (I)Damascus and (J)Hamath to Judah in Israel, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son became king in his place.

Israel’s King Jeroboam
23 In the fifteenth year of Judah’s King Amaziah son of Joash, Jeroboam(A) son of Jehoash became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned forty-one years. 24 He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. He did not turn away from all the sins Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.(B)
25 He restored Israel’s border(C) from Lebo-hamath(D) as far as the Sea of the Arabah,(E) according to the word the Lord, the God of Israel, had spoken through his servant, the prophet Jonah(F) son of Amittai from Gath-hepher.(G) 26 For the Lord saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter(H) for both slaves and free people.[a] There was no one to help Israel. 27 The Lord had not said he would blot out the name of Israel under heaven,(I) so he delivered(J) them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 The rest of the events of Jeroboam’s reign—along with all his accomplishments, the power he had to wage war, and how he recovered for Israel Damascus(K) and Hamath,(L) which had belonged to Judah[b]—are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings.(M) 29 Jeroboam rested with his ancestors, the kings of Israel. His son Zechariah became king in his place.(N)
