25 He restored H7725 the coast H1366 of Israel H3478 from the entering H935 of Hamath H2574 unto the sea H3220 of the plain, H6160 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 which he spake H1696 by the hand H3027 of his servant H5650 Jonah, H3124 the son H1121 of Amittai, H573 the prophet, H5030 which was of Gathhepher. H1662
26 For the LORD H3068 saw H7200 the affliction H6040 of Israel, H3478 that it was very H3966 bitter: H4784 for there was not H657 any shut up, H6113 nor any left, H5800 nor any helper H5826 for Israel. H3478
27 And the LORD H3068 said H1696 not that he would blot out H4229 the name H8034 of Israel H3478 from under heaven: H8064 but he saved H3467 them by the hand H3027 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Joash. H3101

2Ki 14:8-14
