Context of 2 Kings 14:24

22Azariah rebuilt Elath and returned it to Judah after King Amaziah lay down in death with his ancestors. 23Joash’s son Amaziah was in his fifteenth year as king of Judah when Jehoash’s son King Jeroboam of Israel began to rule in Samaria. Jeroboam ruled for 41 years. He did what the Lord considered evil. He didn’t turn away from any of the sins that Jeroboam (Nebat’s son) led Israel to commit. 25He restored Israel’s boundaries from the border of Hamath to the Dead Sea as the Lord God of Israel predicted through his servant Jonah, the prophet from Gath Hepher and the son of Amittai. 26The Lord did this because he saw how bitterly everyone in Israel was suffering. No slave or free person could help Israel.
