This site's exposition
began to reign in Samaria
on 2 Kings 14:23-24
Jeroboam the second takes Israel's throne carrying the first Jeroboam's own name, and the text measures him by the standard it has used for every northern king since, he does not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. The refrain has now run through generations of kings and dynasties, and it falls again here without any new indictment, because none is needed. A name given in hope of a second founder becomes, in the narrator's hands, one more entry under an old verdict.
