2 Kings 14:25-27

Good News Translation

^25 (A)He reconquered all the territory that had belonged to Israel, from Hamath Pass in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. This was what the Lord, the God of Israel, had promised through his servant the prophet Jonah son of Amittai from Gath Hepher.

²⁶ The Lord saw the terrible^[a] suffering of the Israelites; there was no one at all to help them. ²⁷ But it was not the Lord's purpose to destroy Israel completely and forever, so he rescued them through King Jeroboam II.
