Context — Jeroboam II Reigns in Israel
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,
27and since the LORD had said that He would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 29And Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah reigned in his place.Cross References

| 1 | 2 Kings 13:23 | But the LORD was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from His presence. |

Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel: “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well” ? And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace. What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened, as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.” And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them. May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.” I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous. But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring! |

2 Kings 14:27 Summary
[This verse tells us that God saved the nation of Israel from destruction because He had promised to always preserve them, as seen in Jeremiah 31:35-37. He used a king named Jeroboam to do this, even though Jeroboam was not a perfect leader. This shows us that God is a God of mercy and compassion, who works to preserve His people despite their flaws, as also seen in Psalm 106:45. It also reminds us that God is sovereign and can use anyone to accomplish His purposes, as seen in Romans 11:25-26.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did God save Israel by the hand of Jeroboam, who was a king that led the people in idolatry?
God's saving of Israel by the hand of Jeroboam shows that He is a God of mercy and compassion, who acts to preserve His people despite their sin, as seen in Deuteronomy 4:31 and Psalm 106:45.
What does it mean that God would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven?
This phrase means that God would not completely destroy or remove the nation of Israel from the earth, as promised in Jeremiah 31:35-37 and reinforced in Romans 11:25-26.
How does this verse relate to the idea of God's sovereignty and human responsibility?
This verse shows that God's sovereignty and human responsibility are not mutually exclusive, but rather work together, as seen in Isaiah 46:10 and Acts 2:23, where God's plans are fulfilled through human actions.
What can we learn from the fact that God used a flawed leader like Jeroboam to save Israel?
This teaches us that God can use anyone, regardless of their flaws or shortcomings, to accomplish His purposes, as seen in the lives of leaders like David in 1 Samuel 16:7 and Solomon in 1 Kings 11:4.
Reflection Questions
- How have you seen God work in your life, despite your own flaws and shortcomings, to bring about His purposes?
- In what ways can you trust God to preserve and protect you, even in difficult circumstances, as He did for Israel in this verse?
- What does this verse teach us about God's character, particularly His mercy and compassion, and how can we apply that to our own lives?
- How can we balance the idea of God's sovereignty with our own responsibility to make choices and act in obedience to Him, as seen in this verse and others like Philippians 2:12-13?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 14:27
And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. The Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:27
The Lord said not, i.e. not yet; he had not yet declared this, as afterwards he did by the succeeding prophets, though not in those words. See ,6,9.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:27
2 Kings 14:27 And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.Ver. 27. And the Lord said not.] Yet afterwards he both said it, and did it.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:27
(27) Said not.—By any prophet. Blot out the name.—The figure is taken from blotting out writing. (Comp. Numbers 5:23.) The Hebrews used inks that soon faded, and could easily be wiped off the parchment (Hence the partial obliteration of words and letters which is one of the causes of textual corruption.)
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 14:27
27. And the Lord said not] i.e. As yet the doom of Israel was not fixed. There was yet a place of repentance left. but he saved them] Jeroboam was the saviour spoken of in 2 Kings 13:5. See note there.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 14:27
And the Lord said not - Though the Israelites were brought thus low, yet the fiat did not as yet go forth for their destruction.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:27
27. The Lord said not — Not yet had gone forth the oracle of judgment, for still he cared for them in mercy because of his covenant with the ancient fathers. Compare 2 Kings 13:23.
