2 Kings 14:26-27

26 The Lord saw the terrible 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.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 KINGS 14

In this chapter we have the good reign of Amaziah king of Judah, his victories over the Edomites, and war with Jehoash king of Israel, by whom he was taken, who died quickly after, 2Ki 14:1-16, but Amaziah lived fifteen years afterwards, and was slain by a conspiracy against him, and Azariah his son reigned in his stead, 2Ki 14:17-22, and a short account is given of the reign of Jeroboam the second, king of Israel, 2Ki 14:23-29.
