Commentary

And the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven,.... H ad not as yet declared it by any of his prophets, that he would do it, as he afterwards did by Hosea, Hos 1:4 , and was fulfilled in the reign of Hoshea king of Israel, Kg2 17:1 . but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash; the instrument of their deliverance from the hands of their enemies, and of recovering their borders as afore time.
