For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.(2 Reyes 14:26)

And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.(2 Reyes 14:27)

Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?(2 Reyes 14:28)

In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.(2 Reyes 15:1)

Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.(2 Reyes 15:2)

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;(2 Reyes 15:3)
