2 Kings 14:26 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 14:26

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.

28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did—his might, how he made war, and how he recaptured for Israel, from ^aDamascus and Hamath, ^bwhat had belonged to Judah—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
