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.

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, became king in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years. 24 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from all the (A)sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 25 He (B)restored the [a]territory of Israel (C)from the entrance of Hamath to (D)the[b] Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which He had spoken through His servant (E)Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet who was from (F)Gath Hepher. 26 For the Lord (G)saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter; and whether bond or free, (H)there was no helper for Israel. 27 (I)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 (J)Damascus and Hamath, (K)what had belonged to Judah—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 29 So Jeroboam [c]rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. Then (L)Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
