26 For the LORD saw the affliction of Yisra'el, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Yisra'el.
26
The LORD had seen how bitterly everyone in Israel, whether slave or free, was suffering; there was no one to help them.
27 The LORD didn't say that he would blot out the name of Yisra'el from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Yarov`am the son of Yo'ash.
27
And since the LORD had not said he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
