2 Kings 17
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.
