21 Then all the people of Judah (praised) took Azariah (Uzziah), who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah (YHWH is mighty). 22 Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath (Eloth) and restored it to Judah (praised) after King Amaziah rested with his fathers. 23 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah (YHWH is mighty) son of Joash (given by the Lord) over Judah (praised), Jeroboam (the people will contend) son of Jehoash became king of Israel (he wrestles with God), and he reigned in Samaria (watch mountain) forty-one years. 24 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD {YHWH} and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam (the people will contend) son of Nebat (aspect) had caused Israel (he wrestles with God) to commit. 25 This Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel (he wrestles with God) from Lebo-hamath (fortress) to the Sea of the Arabah (the Dead Sea), according to the word that the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah (dove) son of Amittai (my truth), the prophet from Gath-hepher (the winepress of digging). 26 For the LORD {YHWH} saw that the affliction of the Israelites (God prevails), both slave and free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel, 27 and since the LORD {YHWH} had said that He would not blot out the name of Israel (he wrestles with God) from under heaven, He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam (the people will contend) son of Jehoash (given by the Lord). 28 As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam (the people will contend), along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus (well-watered land) and Hamath (fortress) for Israel (he wrestles with God) from Judah (praised), are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 29 And Jeroboam (the people will contend) rested with his fathers [and he was buried in Samaria with], the kings of Israel (he wrestles with God). And his son Zechariah (YHWH remembers) reigned in his place. 2 Kings 14:21-29, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
