26 The Lord had seen how bitterly everyone in Israel, whether slave or free, was suffering; there was no one to help them.
27 And since the Lord had not said he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 As for the other events of Jeroboam’s reign, all he did, and his military achievements, including how he recovered for Israel both Damascus and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
29 Jeroboam rested with his ancestors, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah his son succeeded him as king.
