Context of 2 Kings 14:29
27The Lord had never said that he would completely remove Israel from the earth. So he gave Jehoash's son Jeroboam the power to rescue them. 28The other things that happened while Jeroboam was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Israel's kings’. It tells about all the great things that Jeroboam did. It tells how he fought battles to get back power for Israel over Damascus and Hamath. Jeroboam died and they buried him beside the other kings of Israel in Samaria. His son Zechariah became king after him.
