26. For Hashem saw the oni Yisroel, that it was mar me'od (very bitter) for there was neither atzur (slave) nor azuv (free), no ozer (helper) at all for Yisroel.
27. And Hashem had not said that He would blot out the shem of Yisroel from under Shomayim; but He saved them by the yad Yarov`am Ben Yoash.
28. Now the rest of the acts of Yarov`am, and all that he did, and his gevurah, how he warred, and how he won back Damascus and Chamat from Yehudah for Yisroel, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yisroel?
29. And Yarov`am slept with his avot, even with the malkhei Yisroel; and Zecharyah bno reigned as Melech in his place.
