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.
