Context — Jeroboam II Reigns in Israel
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

2 Kings 14:28 Summary
This verse tells us that Jeroboam, a king of Israel, did many great things and showed great strength, including winning back two important cities from Judah (2 Kings 14:28). It reminds us that God can use anyone to do great things, even if they are not perfect, as we see in the story of King David (1 Samuel 16:13). We can trust that God will fulfill His promises to us, just as He did for Israel (2 Kings 14:27, Genesis 12:2-3). By looking at Jeroboam's example, we can learn to trust in God's power and faithfulness in our own lives.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:28
Damascus and Hamath were cities of Syria, but were taken from the Syrians by David and Solomon, , and probably by them incorporated with and added to the possessions of their own tribe, to which from that time they belonged; but afterwards they were retaken by the Syrians, and were now recovered by this Jeroboam.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:28
2 Kings 14:28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, [which belonged] to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?Ver. 28. And Hamath.] Which lay near to Damascus, and fared the worse for its neighbourhood.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:28
(28) How he recovered Damascus, and Hamath.—Jeroboam II. was probably contemporary with Rammân-nirâri, king of Assyria (B.C. 812-783). This king has recorded his exaction of tribute from Tyre and Sidon, “the land of Omri” (i.e., Israel), Edom, and Philistia; and a siege of Damascus, followed by the submission of Mari’, its king, and the spoiling of his palace. The prostration of his enemy thus accounts for the permanent success of Jeroboam, who was himself a vassal of Assyria. He recovered.—This verb was rendered “lie restored” in 2 Kings 14:25, and that is the meaning here. Damascus and Hamath.—Not the entire states so named, which were powerful independent communities, but portions of their territory, which had belonged to Israel in the days of Solomon. (See Note on 2 Chronicles 8:3-4.) Which belonged to Judah.—This is really an epithet restrictive of the phrase, “Damascus and Hamath,” the sense being, “Judœan Damascus and Hamath.” (Comp, the Note on 2 Kings 15:1.) For Israel.—Heb., in Israel. The sense is obscure; but the particle “in” appears to refer to the re-incorporation of the Damascene and Hamathite districts with Israel. Ewald would cancel “which belonged to Judah,” and read “to Israel” (so the Syriac and Arabic. But the LXX., Vulg., and Targum support the existing text.) Others explain: He restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah (i.e., to the theocratic people) through Israel (i.e., the northern kingdom, to which the recovered districts were actually annexed). No explanation, however, is really satisfactory.
It may be that by an oversight the Judæan editor wrote” to Judah, “instead of” to Israel and that some scribe added a marginal note “in Israel,” which afterwards crept into the text. It is curious to find certain districts of Hamath leagued with Azariah, king of Judah, against Tiglath Pileser. (See Note on 2 Kings 15:1.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:28
Verse 28. How he warred, and - recovered Damascus] We learn from 1 Chronicles 18:3-11, 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.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 14:28
28. how he recovered Damascus] We are told (2 Samuel 8:6) that garrisons were placed in Damascus by David, and that the Syrians became servants to David. Having been once in the possession of the Israelites, the reconquest by Jeroboam II. may be spoken of as a recovery. A sort of occupation of Damascus was also granted by Ben-hadad to Ahab (1 Kings 20:34), when the Israelite king was permitted to make streets for himself in the Syrian city. and Hamath, which belonged [R.V. had belonged] to Judah] We find (2 Samuel 8:9-11) that Toi the king of Hamath was one of David’s tributaries, and from 1 Kings 4:21-24 it is clear that in Solomon’s days Hamath was part of his possessions. In 2 Chronicles 8:4 we learn that Solomon built ‘store cities’ in Hamath. The revolt of the ten tribes gave Hamath a chance of freedom again, of which the people probably availed themselves, and remained independent till the conquest by Jeroboam here spoken of. This event brought the city into the hand of Israel.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 14:28
He recovered Damascus - Jeroboam probably gained certain advantages over Benhadad, which induced the latter to make his submission and consent to such terms as those extorted by Ahab 1 Kings 20:34.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:28
28. He recovered Damascus — David smote the Syrians of Damascus and made them tributary; (2 Samuel 8:6;) but in Solomon’s day Rezon established himself in Damascus and acted the part of an adversary
