Jeroboam II King of Israel
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam(A) 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.(B) 25 He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath(C) to the Dead Sea,[a](D) in accordance with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah(E) son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.
26 The Lord had seen how bitterly everyone in Israel, whether slave or free,(F) was suffering;[b](G) there was no one to help them.(H) 27 And since the Lord had not said he would blot out(I) the name of Israel from under heaven, he saved(J) them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 As for the other events of Jeroboam’s reign, all he did, and his military achievements, including how he recovered for Israel both Damascus(K) and Hamath,(L) which had belonged to Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals(M) of the kings of Israel? 29 Jeroboam rested with his ancestors, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah his son succeeded him as king.

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)
