2 Kings 14:27 Meaning and Commentary

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.

2 Kings 14:27 In-Context

25 Jeroboam won back Israel's border from Lebo Hamath to the Dead Sea. This happened as the Lord, the God of Israel, had said through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.
26 The Lord had seen how the Israelites, both slave and free, were suffering terribly. No one was left who could help Israel.
27 The Lord had not said he would completely destroy Israel from the world, so he saved the Israelites through Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 Everything else Jeroboam did is written down -- all his victories and how he won back from Judah the towns of Damascus and Hamath for Israel. All this is written in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
29 Jeroboam died and was buried with his ancestors, the kings of Israel. Jeroboam's son Zechariah became king in his place.
