2 Kings 14: Amaziah’s Pride and Jeroboam II

Amaziah of Judah defeats Edom and spares his father’s assassins’ sons as Moses’ law requires, but pride drives him to challenge Jehoash of Israel, who routs Judah and plunders Jerusalem. Jeroboam II, though evil, restores Israel’s borders as Jonah foretold, because God pitied Israel’s suffering.
