*
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria ,
and reigned forty and one years .
*
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD :
he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat ,
who made Israel to sin .
*
He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain ,
according to the word of the LORD God of Israel ,
which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah ,
the son of Amittai ,
the prophet ,
which was of Gathhepher .
*
For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel ,
that it was very bitter :
for there was not any shut up ,
nor any left ,
nor any helper for Israel .
*
And the LORD said not 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 .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam ,
and all that he did ,
and his might ,
how he warred ,
and how he recovered Damascus ,
and Hamath ,
which belonged to Judah ,
for Israel ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
*
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers ,
even with the kings of Israel ;
and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead .
