2 Kings 17:14-23

14But they would notH3808 listenH8085, and they stiffenedH7185 their necksH6203 like their fathersH1, whoH834 did notH3808 believeH539 the LORDH3068 their GodH430. 15They rejectedH3988 His statutesH2706 and the covenantH1285 He had madeH3772 withH854 their fathersH1, as well as the decreesH5715 He had givenH5749 them. They pursuedH1980H310 worthless idolsH1892 and became worthless themselvesH1891, going afterH310 the surroundingH5439 nationsH1471 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had commanded themH6680 notH1115 to imitateH6213.

16They abandonedH5800 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430 and madeH6213 for themselves twoH8147 cast idolsH4541 of calvesH5695H6213 and an Asherah poleH842. They bowed down toH7812 allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 and servedH5647 BaalH1168. 17They sacrificedH5674 their sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 in the fireH7841 and practicedH7080 divinationH7081 and soothsayingH5172. They devoted themselvesH4376 to doingH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, provoking Him to angerH3707.

18So the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and He removed themH5493 fromH5921 His presenceH6440H3808. OnlyH7535 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063H905 remainedH7604, 19and evenH1571 JudahH3063 did notH3808 keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but livedH1980 according to the customsH2708 IsraelH3478 had introducedH6213. 20So the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 allH3605 the descendantsH2233 of IsraelH3478. He afflicted themH6031 and delivered themH5414 into the handsH3027 of plunderersH8154, untilH5704 He had banished themH7993 from His presenceH6440.

21WhenH3588 the LORD had tornH7167 IsraelH3478 away fromH5921 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, they made JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028H5077 kingH4427, and JeroboamH3379 led IsraelH3478 away from followingH310 the LORDH3068 and caused them to commitH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401. 22The IsraelitesH1121H3478 persistedH1980 in allH3605 the sinsH2403 thatH834 JeroboamH3379 had committedH6213 and did notH3808 turn awayH5493 from themH4480. 23FinallyH5704, the LORDH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 fromH5921 His presenceH6440, asH834 He had declaredH1696 throughH3027 allH3605 His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So IsraelH3478 was exiledH1540 fromH5921 their homelandH127 into AssyriaH804, where they are toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.
