JEROBOAM'S WICKED REIGN OVER ISRAEL. (2 Kings 14:23-29)

Jeroboam, the son of Joash king of Israel--This was Jeroboam II who, on regaining the lost territory, raised the kingdom to great political power (2 Kings 14:25), but adhered to the favorite religious policy of the Israelitish sovereigns (2 Kings 14:24). While God granted him so great a measure of national prosperity and eminence, the reason is expressly stated (2 Kings 14:26-27) to be that the purposes of the divine covenant forbade as yet the overthrow of the kingdom of the ten tribes (see 2 Kings 13:23).
