My Name Is Jeroboam II...
In hindsight, while I took pride in our territorial expansions and military achievements, my spirit feels the weight of the Lord's disappointment.
To all who might ponder the legacy of my reign,
When I pondered upon the legacy I inherited, I was reminded of the promise the Lord made to my great-grandfather, Jehu. The Almighty declared that his descendants, up to the fourth generation, would reign over Israel. Standing as a testament to God's promise, I, Jeroboam II, third in line, reigned over the northern kingdom for 41 years.
