Melachim Bais 14:23 In-Context

21 And kol Am Yehudah took Azaryah, who was 16 years old, and made him Melech in the place of aviv Amatzyah.

22 He rebuilt Eilat, restored it to Yehudah; after that HaMelech slept with his avot.

23 In the 15th year of Amatzyah Ben Yoash Melech Yehudah, Yarov‘am Ben Yoash Melech Yisroel began to reign as Melech in Shomron, and reigned 41 shanah.

24 And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem; he departed not from all the chattot Yarov‘am Ben Nevat, who caused Yisroel to commit sin.

25 He restored the boundary of Yisroel from the entrance of Chamat unto the yam of the Aravah, according to the Devar Hashem Elohei Yisroel, which He spoke by the yad of His Eved HaNavi Yonah Ben Amittai, who was of Gat HaChefer.
