Hi,
"Rabbi Yochanan asked: What merit did Yeravam ben Yoash [an apparently wicked king of the 'Yisrael' portion of the Jews] possess, such that he was listed among the [righteous] kings of Yehudah [in Hosheia 1]?
"He refused to accept slander against the prophet Amos [when a plotter falsely claimed that Amos had prophesied a message against him]."
(Talmud, Pesachim 87b)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
