Context of 2 Kings 14:24

22After Amaziah the king rested with his ancestors, Azariah rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. 23In the fifteenth year of Judah’s King Amaziah son of Joash, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned forty-one years. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. He did not turn away from all the sins Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit. 25He restored Israel’s border from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word the Lord, the God of Israel, had spoken through his servant, the prophet Jonah son of Amittai from Gath-hepher. 26For the Lord saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter for both slaves and free people. There was no one to help Israel.
