Context of 2 Kings 14:27

25He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of Yhwh God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gath–hepher. 26For Yhwh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. And Yhwh said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. 28Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 29And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 27And the Lord said not - Though the Israelites were brought thus low, yet the fiat did not as yet go forth for their destruction.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-29Verses 23-29 God raised up the prophet Jonah, and by him declared the purposes of his favour to Israel.
