SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:28
Y lo demás de los hechos de Jeroboam, y todas las cosas que hizo, y su valentía, y todas las guerras que hizo, y cómo restituyó a Judá en Israel a Damasco y a Hamat, ¿no está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 14:28
Verse 28. How he warred, and-recovered Damascus] We learn from 1 Chron. xviii. 3-11, that David had conquered all Syria, and put garrisons in Damascus and other places, and laid all the Syrians under tribute; but this yoke they had not only shaken off, but they had conquered a considerable portion of the Israelitish territory, and added it to Syria. These latter Jeroboam now recovered; and thus the places which anciently belonged to Judah by David's conquests, and were repossessed by Syria, he now conquered, and added to Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred , etc.] His valiant acts and warlike exploits: and how he recovered Damascus and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel ; which cities, in the times of David and Solomon, were tributary to Judah, but afterwards fell into the hands of the Syrians, from whom Jeroboam recovered them, and annexed them to the kingdom of Israel; or, as Kimchi, though Jeroboam was king of Israel, yet, having taken them, he restored them to the king of Judah, to whom they belonged: are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ? where all events of any moment were registered.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-29 - God raised up the prophet Jonah, and by him declared the purposes of his favour to Israel. It is a sign that God has not cast off his people, if he continues faithful ministers among them. Two reasons ar given why God blessed them with those victories: 1. Because the distress was very great, which made them objects of his compassion. 2 Because the decree was not yet gone forth for their destruction. Man prophets there had been in Israel, but none left prophecies in writin till this age, and their prophecies are part of the Bible. Hosea bega to prophesy in the reign of this Jeroboam. At the same time Amo prophesied; soon after Micah, then Isaiah, in the days of Ahaz an Hezekiah. Thus God, in the darkest and most degenerate ages of the church, raised up some to be burning and shining lights in it; to their own age, by their preaching and living, and a few by their writings, to reflect light upon us in the last times __________________________________________________________________
