2 Kings 14:22-28

²²Azariah recaptured Elath for Judah and rebuilt it after his father's death.

²³Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, became king of Israel in the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for forty-one years.

²⁴He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.

²⁵He restored the border of Israel to where it had been, from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had said through his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who came from Gath-hepher.

²⁶The Lord had seen how badly the Israelites were suffering, both slave and free. No one was there to help Israel.

²⁷However, since the Lord had said that he would not wipe out Israel, he saved them through Jeroboam, son of Jehoash.

²⁸The rest of what happened in Jeroboam's reign, all he did, his great achievements and the battles he fought, and how he recovered for Israel both Damascus and Hamath, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
