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.
28 The rest of the events of Jeroboam’s reign — along with all his accomplishments, the power he had to wage war, and how he recovered for Israel Damascus and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah — are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings.
29 Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. His son Zechariah became king in his place.
