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 ^asins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin.

25 He ^arestored the territory of Israel ^bfrom the entrance of Hamath to ^cthe Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which He had spoken through His servant ^dJonah the son of Amittai, the prophet who was from ^eGath Hepher.

26 For the Lord ^asaw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter; and whether bond or free, ^bthere was no helper for Israel.

27 ^aAnd 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.

2 Kings 14:23

Jeroboam - This is the only instance, in the history of either kingdom, of a recurrent royal appellation. We can scarcely doubt that Jeroboam II was named after the great founder of the Israelite kingdom by a father who trusted that he might Proverbs a sort of second founder. Perhaps the prophecy of Jonah (see II Kings 14:25) had been already given, and it was known that a great deliverance was approaching.
