It reflects the biblical theme that God's word is unchanging and reliable. In the context of Israel's history, God's promises and warnings through the prophets were central to the nation's understanding of their relationship with Him. This phrase also underscores the importance of divine prophecy, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/isaiah/55-11.htm">Isaiah 55:11</a>, where God's word is described as accomplishing what He desires.<p><b>that He would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven</b><br>Here, the phrase highlights God's covenant faithfulness to Israel despite their repeated disobedience. The concept of "blotting out" a name is significant in biblical terms, often associated with judgment or removal from God's favor (<a href="/exodus/32-32.htm">Exodus 32:32-33</a>). However, God's commitment to preserving Israel's identity and existence is rooted in His promises to the patriarchs, such as in <a href="/genesis/12-2.htm">Genesis 12:2-3</a> with Abraham. This assurance of preservation is a testament to God's grace and long-term plan for His people.<p><b>He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash</b><br>This part of the verse refers to Jeroboam II, a king of Israel who reigned during a time of relative prosperity and military success. Despite the moral and spiritual decline of the nation, God used Jeroboam II to deliver Israel from its enemies, particularly the Arameans. This reflects a recurring biblical theme where God uses imperfect leaders to fulfill His purposes, similar to how He used Cyrus of Persia (<a href="/isaiah/45.htm">Isaiah 45:1</a>). Jeroboam's reign is detailed in <a href="/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23-29</a>, where his military achievements are noted, yet his failure to lead spiritual reform is also highlighted. This deliverance is a reminder of God's mercy and His ability to work through flawed human instruments to achieve His divine will.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who shows mercy and faithfulness to His people despite their unfaithfulness.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The northern kingdom, often characterized by idolatry and rebellion against God, yet still under His providential care.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeroboam_ii.htm">Jeroboam II</a></b><br>The son of Jehoash, king of Israel, through whom God delivered Israel.

On the contrary, he gave the nation a breathing-space, a gleam of light, a second summer before the winter set in - a further opportunity of repenting and turning to him with all their hearts if they would only have taken advantage of it, a chance of redeeming the past and reestablishing themselves in his favor. He might well have destroyed them at this time if he had looked only to considerations of justice, if in his wrath he had not thought upon mercy. <span class="cmt_word">But he saved them</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> he gave them the deliverance promised first by Elisha (<a href="/2_kings/13-17.htm">2 Kings 13:17</a>), and then by Jonah the son of Amittai (ver. 25) - deliverance from Syria, recovery of their borders, and triumph over their enemies. He gave them all this <span class="cmt_word">by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.</span> Joash began the salvation, but it was reserved for Jeroboam to complete it. He was the true "savior" (<a href="/2_kings/13-5.htm">2 Kings 13:5</a>), the true accomplisher of the work, for which his father only paved the way. Thus one Jeroboam founded the kingdom; another refounded it, restored its ancient glories, and gave it its old dimensions. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/2_kings/14-27.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">and since the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָ֔ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
