Jeroboam II Restores Israel’s Borders

2 Kings 14:23-29

Chapter 14
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years. 24 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not turn from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. 25 He restored the boundary of Israel from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel which he spoke by the hand of his servant Jonah son of Amittai the prophet, who was from Gath-hepher. 26 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel—very bitter—and there was no restrained one and no abandoned one, and there was no helper for Israel. 27 And the LORD did not speak to wipe out the name of Israel from under heaven, and he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash. 28 The rest of the words of Jeroboam and all that he did and his might that he fought and that he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel—are they not written in the book of the words of the days for the kings of Israel? 29 Jeroboam lay down with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
