Jeroboam II son of Jehoash presided over a golden age of political strength and territorial expansion, restoring Israel’s borders to near their former extent. Economically, the kingdom flourished. However, this prosperity masked deep social injustice, corruption, and moral decay. Prophets like Amos and Hosea strongly rebuked the nation during his reign, warning that judgment was coming despite outward success. He maintained the sinful religious system of Jeroboam I.
