2 Kings 14:26-28
International Children’s Bible
26 The Lord had seen how the Israelites, both slave and free, were suffering terribly. No one was left who could help Israel. 27 But the Lord had not said that he would completely destroy Israel from the world. So he saved the Israelites through Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 Everything else Jeroboam did is written down. All his victories are recorded. He won back Damascus and Hamath for Israel. (They had belonged to Judah.) All this is written in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.

2 Kings 14:26-28
New International Version
26 The Lord had seen how bitterly everyone in Israel, whether slave or free,(A) was suffering;[a](B) there was no one to help them.(C) 27 And since the Lord had not said he would blot out(D) the name of Israel from under heaven, he saved(E) them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 As for the other events of Jeroboam’s reign, all he did, and his military achievements, including how he recovered for Israel both Damascus(F) and Hamath,(G) which had belonged to Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals(H) of the kings of Israel?
