John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
2 Kings 14:27
And the Lord said not that he would blot out the name
of
Israel from under heaven
Had not as yet declared it by any of his prophets, that he would
do it, as he afterwards did by Hosea, ( Hosea 1:4 Hosea 1:9 ) , and was
fulfilled in the reign of Hoshea king of Israel, ( 2 Kings 17:1
) .
but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of
Joash;
the instrument of their deliverance from the hands of their
enemies, and of recovering their borders as afore time.
