Matthew(i)
23 The .xv. yeare of Amaziah sonne of Iehoas kynge of Iuda, was Ieroboam sonne of Ioas made kynge ouer Israel in Samaria, & raygned .xli. yeare,
24 and wroughte wyckednesse in the sight of the Lorde: for he turned in nothyng from the sinne of Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat which made Israel synne.
25 He restored the coastes of Israel from the enterynge of Hemath vnto the sea, in the wylde feldes, accordynge to the worde of the Lorde God of Israell whiche he spake thorow hys seruaunt Ionah the sonne of Amithai the Prophete, which was of Geth Opher.
26 For the Lorde had sene howe that the affliccion of Israell was excedynge bytter, in so much that the presoned & the forsaken were at an ende. And there was no helper vnto Israel.
27 And the Lorde had not yet sayde that men shulde put out the name of Israel from vnder heauen. And therfore he holpe them by the hand of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioas.
28 The rest of the deedes of Ieroboam, and all he dyd, & his powre how he fought, & how he restored Damasco and Hemath to Iuda in Israel are written in the boke of the chronicles of the kinges of Israel.
29 And Ieroboam layde hym to rest with his fathers and wyth the kynges of Israel, and Zachariah hys sonne raigned in hys steade.
