*
In the fifteenth year of Amazi '
ah the son of Jo '
ash ,
king of Judah ,
Jerobo '
am the son of Jo '
ash ,
king of Israel ,
began to reign in Sama '
ria ,
and he reigned forty-one years .
*
And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD ;
he did not depart from all the sins of Jerobo '
am the son of Nebat ,
which he made Israel to sin .
*
He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah ,
according to the word of the LORD ,
the God of Israel ,
which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amit '
tai ,
the prophet ,
who was from Gath-he '
pher .
*
For the LORD saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter ,
for there was none left ,
bond or free ,
and there was none to help Israel .
*
But the LORD had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven ,
so he saved them by the hand of Jerobo '
am the son of Jo '
ash .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Jerobo '
am ,
and all that he did ,
and his might ,
how he fought ,
and how he recovered for Israel Damascus and Hamath ,
which had belonged to Judah ,
are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel ?
*
And Jerobo '
am slept with his fathers ,
the kings of Israel ,
and Zechari '
ah his son reigned in his stead .
