“And the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, etc.] Had not as yet declared it by any of his prophets, that he would do it, as he afterwards did by Hosea, (<280104>Hosea 1:4,9), and was fulfilled in the reign of Hoshea king of Israel, (<121701>2 Kings 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.”

Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“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 2 Kings 14:25; 2 Kings 13:17-19). That he would blot out ... - This is a Mosaic phrase, found only here and in Deuteronomy 2 Kings 9:14; 29:20. return to 'Top of Page'”
