Notes

  • He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam: God saw the people's helplessness and stayed true to the covenant with Israel's ancestors (2 Kings 13:23).

  • the rest of the acts of Jeroboam: The narrator suggests Jeroboam's God-given power and wealth. The Samaria ostraca (inscribed pottery fragments) also shows that this was a time of prosperity. The prophecies of Hosea and Amos reveal that despite the wealth during Jeroboam's reign, the Israelites did not turn to the Lord.
