Context — Jeroboam II Reigns in Israel
22Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
23In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria forty-one years.
24And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
25This Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher. 26For the LORD saw that the affliction of the Israelites, both slave and free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel,Cross References

2 Kings 14:24 Summary
This verse tells us that Jeroboam son of Jehoash did what was evil in God's eyes and did not stop the sinful practices that Jeroboam son of Nebat had started. This means that, despite being a king with some military successes, Jeroboam son of Jehoash did not follow God's commands or turn away from idolatry, as warned against in Deuteronomy 4:25. Instead, he continued in the sins of his predecessors, leading the nation further away from true worship, similar to the patterns seen in 1 Kings 12:26-33. We can learn from this verse the importance of seeking to follow God's will and commands, and to turn away from sinful behaviors, as encouraged in Proverbs 28:13.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to do evil in the sight of the LORD?
To do evil in the sight of the LORD means to act in disobedience to God's commands and will, as seen in Deuteronomy 4:25, where it warns against idolatry and other sinful behaviors that provoke God to anger.
Who was Jeroboam son of Nebat and what sins did he cause Israel to commit?
Jeroboam son of Nebat was a king of Israel who led the nation into idolatry and sin, as recorded in 1 Kings 12:26-33, where he set up golden calves for the people to worship, leading them away from the true worship of God in Jerusalem.
Why did Jeroboam son of Jehoash not turn away from these sins?
The Bible does not give a specific reason why Jeroboam son of Jehoash did not turn away from these sins, but it may be inferred that, like many of the kings of Israel, he was caught up in the patterns of sin established by his predecessors and the cultural pressures of his time, as seen in 2 Kings 13:2-3, where it speaks of the sins of Jeroboam son of Joash.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the chapter?
This verse serves as a spiritual assessment of Jeroboam's reign, highlighting his failure to follow God, despite the military successes and territorial expansions mentioned in the surrounding verses, such as 2 Kings 14:25, which notes the restoration of Israel's boundary.
Reflection Questions
