2 Kings 14:26 Context
24And hee did that which was euill in the sight of the Lord: hee departed not from all the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, who made Israel to sinne. 25Hee restored the coast of Israel, from the entring of Hamath, vnto the sea of the plaine, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his seruant Ionah, the sonne of Amittai the Prophet, which was of Gath Hepher. 26For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut vp, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. 27And the Lord said not, that hee would blot out the name of Israel from vnder heauen: but he saued them by the hand of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash. 28¶ Now the rest of the actes of Ieroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recouered Damascus and Hamath, which belonged to Iudah, for Israel, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
