Comentário sobre II Reis 14:25

He restored. From the hand of Arom.

Yonah son of Amitai. He was the one who anointed Yeihu, who said to him, “[Your] descendants of the fourth generation will occupy [the throne of Yisroel].”⁹Yonah 3:1. Our Rabbis, however, deduced, “And the word of Adonoy came to Yonah a second time,”¹⁰Alternatively, God spoke to Yonah only twice concerning Nineveh, but He spoke to him many times concerning other matters.—Radak but not a third time, because he demanded the honor of the son, but he did not demand the honor of the Father. This verse was therefore difficult to them, and they reconciled it [as follows]: Just like the word of Adonoy, Who had spoken through Yonah concerning Nineveh, and the evil decree was overturned for good, so was it changed for Yisroel in the days of Yerovom son of Yoash, from the distress in which they were found, that “the Arom’s king had destroyed them and trampled them like dirt,”¹¹Above, 13:7. and now it was changed for the good.¹²See Maseches Yevamos 98a.
