24. He did evil in the Lord’s sight; he did not desist from any of the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had caused Israel to commit.
25. He restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had foretold through his servant, the prophet Jonah, son of Amittai, from Gath-hepher.
26. For the Lord saw the very bitter affliction of Israel, where there was neither bond nor free, no one at all to help Israel.
27. Since the Lord had not resolved to wipe out the name of Israel from under the heavens, he saved them through Jeroboam, son of Joash.
28. The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, with all that he did and his valor, how he fought, and how he regained Damascus and Hamath for Israel, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
29. Jeroboam rested with his ancestors, the kings of Israel, and his son Zechariah succeeded him as king.
