2 Kings 17:14-23

14Notwithstanding, they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, who believedH539 not in Jehovah their GodH430. 15And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH6213 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 unto them; and they followed vanityH1892, and became vain, and went after the nationsH1471 that were roundH5439 about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them. 16And they forsook all the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 an AsherahH842, and worshipped all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168. 17And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and used divinationH7081 and enchantments, and soldH4376 themselves to do that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707. 18Therefore Jehovah was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sight: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 onlyH7535.

19AlsoH1571 JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah their GodH430, but walked in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213. 20And Jehovah rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the handH3027 of spoilers, until he had castH7993 them out of his sight. 21For he rent IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732; and they made JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427: and JeroboamH3379 drove IsraelH3478 from following Jehovah, and made them sinH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2398. 22And the children of IsraelH3478 walked in all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he did; they departedH5493 not from them; 23until Jehovah removedH5493 IsraelH3478 out of his sight, as he spake by all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So IsraelH3478 was carried awayH5493 out of their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117.
