²⁵ He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord had said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gath-hepher.

¹⁷ As well as the Arabah, with the river Jordan as their limit, from Chinnereth to the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

¹ And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,

¹³ And from there it goes on east to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; ending at Rimmon which goes as far as Neah;

³⁹ But he, answering, said to them, An evil and false generation is looking for a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonah:

⁴⁰ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

⁶⁵ So Solomon and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, (for the people had come together from the way into Hamath to the river of Egypt,) kept the feast at that time before the Lord our God, for two weeks, even fourteen days.

²¹ So they went up and got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.

⁴ An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.

¹⁴ For see, I will send against you a nation, O Israel, says the Lord, the God of armies, ruling you cruelly from the way into Hamath as far as the stream of the Arabah.

¹⁶ To Zedad, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the limit of Damascus and the limit of Hazar-hatticon, which is on the limit of Hauran.

¹⁷ And this is the limit from the sea in the direction of Hazar-enon; and the limit of Damascus is to the north, and on the north is the limit of Hamath. This is the north side.

¹⁸ And the east side will be from Hazar-enon, which is between Hauran and Damascus; and between Gilead and the land of Israel the Jordan will be the limit, to the east sea, to Tamar. This is the east side.

²⁵ And Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, took again from Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, the towns which he had taken from Jehoahaz his father in war. Three times Jehoash overcame him and got back the towns of Israel.

³² In those days the Lord was angry first with Israel; and Hazael made attacks on all the land of Israel,

⁷ And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:

⁸ And from Mount Hor the line will go in the direction of Hamath; the farthest point of it will be at Zedad:

³ All these came together in the valley of Siddim (which is the Salt Sea).
