Melachim Bais 14:28

28 Now the rest of the acts of Yarov‘am, and all that he did, and his gevurah, how he warred, and how he won back Damascus and Chamat from Yehudah for Yisroel, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel?

Melachim Bais 14:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 14:28

Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and
his might, how he warred
His valiant acts and warlike exploits:

and how he recovered Damascus and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for
Israel;
which cities, in the times of David and Solomon, were tributary to Judah, but afterwards fell into the hands of the Syrians, from whom Jeroboam recovered them, and annexed them to the kingdom of Israel; or, as Kimchi, though Jeroboam was king of Israel, yet, having taken them, he restored them to the king of Judah, to whom they belonged:

are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel?
where all events of any moment were registered.

Melachim Bais 14:28 In-Context

26 For Hashem saw the oni Yisroel, that it was mar me’od (very bitter) for there was neither atzur (slave) nor azuv (free), no ozer (helper) at all for Yisroel.
27 And Hashem had not said that He would blot out the shem of Yisroel from under Shomayim; but He saved them by the yad Yarov‘am Ben Yoash.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Yarov‘am, and all that he did, and his gevurah, how he warred, and how he won back Damascus and Chamat from Yehudah for Yisroel, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel?
29 And Yarov`am slept with his avot, even with the malkhei Yisroel; and Zecharyah bno reigned as Melech in his place.
