Commentary
6 notes on this verseAnd the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven,.... Had 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, 2Ki 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.
This site's exposition
saw that the affliction of the Israelites
on 2 Kings 14:26-27
The LORD saw that the affliction of Israel “was very bitter,” with “no one to help Israel”. Since He had said He would not blot out Israel's name, “He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash”. Mercy runs ahead of the sentence that falls later.
This site's exposition
blot out the name of Israel
Barnes traced the phrase blot out the name to Deuteronomy 9:14 and 29:20, where the LORD threatens it. Gill noted that the LORD said it later through Hosea 1:4, and Israel fell under Hoshea at 17:6. Here the LORD still saved Israel through Jeroboam.

If this be understood of the dispersion of the ten tribes, he did say it and do it, for that name still remains under heaven in the gospel Israel, and will to the end of time; and because they, at present, bore that name which was to have this lasting honour, he showed them this favour, as well as for the sake of the ancient honour of that name, ch. xiii.
4 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places. 5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.

And the Lord said not - Though the Israelites were brought thus low, yet the fiat did not as yet go forth for their destruction. God did not send a prophet to say that He would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; but on the contrary sent two to announce that they should be delivered from their present enemies, and obtain triumphs over them (see 2Ki 14:25; 2Ki 13:17-19). That he would blot out ... - This is a Mosaic phrase, found only here and in Deuteronomy 2Ki 9:14; 29:20.
