21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was 16 years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
22 He rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah the king rested with his fathers.
23 In the fifteenth year of Judah’s King Amaziah son of Joash, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel in Samaria and reigned 41 years.
24 He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. He did not turn away from all the sins Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
25 He restored Israel’s border from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word the Lord, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant, the prophet Jonah son of Amittai from Gath-hepher.
26 For the Lord saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel, neither bond nor free.
27 However, the Lord had not said He would blot out the name of Israel under heaven, so He delivered them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
