2 Kings 14:23-29
New American Standard Bible 1995
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel became king in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years. 24 He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin. 25 (A)He restored the border of Israel from (B)the entrance of Hamath as far as (C)the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which He spoke [a]through His servant (D)Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of (E)Gath-hepher. 26 For the (F)Lord saw the affliction of Israel, which was very bitter; for (G)there was neither bond nor free, nor was there any helper for Israel. 27 The (H)Lord did not say 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.
Zechariah Reigns over Israel
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did and his might, how he fought and how he recovered for Israel, (I)Damascus and (J)Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son became king in his place.

10 Then Amaziah, the (A)priest of Bethel, sent word to (B)Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has (C)conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is unable to endure all his words. 11 For thus Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword and Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.’”
