2 Kings 17

18 Ref So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and his face was turned away from them: only the tribe of Judah kept its place.

19 Ref (But even Judah did not keep the orders of the Lord their God, but were guided by the rules which Israel had made.

20 Ref So the Lord would have nothing to do with all the offspring of Israel, and sent trouble on them, and gave them up into the hands of their attackers, till he had sent them away from before his face.)

21 Ref For Israel was broken off from the family of David, and they made Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, king, who, driving them away from the laws of the Lord, made them do a great sin.

22 Ref And the children of Israel went on with all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not keep themselves from them;

23 Ref Till the Lord put Israel away from before his face, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was taken away from their land to Assyria, to this day.
