2 Kings 17:14-23
14However, they did not listenH8085, but 1stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203 2like their fathersH1, whoH834 did not believeH539 in the LordH3068 their GodH430. 153They rejectedH3988 His statutesH2706 and 4His covenantH1285 whichH834 He madeH3772 with their fathersH1 and His warningsH5715 with whichH834 He warnedH5749 them. And 5they followedH1980H310 vanityH1892 and 6becameH1891 vainH1891, and went afterH310 the nationsH1471 whichH834 surroundedH5439 them, concerning whichH834 the 7LordH3068 had commandedH6680 them not to doH6213 like them. 16They forsookH5800 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 and madeH6213 for themselves moltenH4541 imagesH4541, even 8twoH8147 calvesH5695, and 9madeH6213 an 10AsherahH842 and 11worshipedH7812 allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 and 12servedH5647 BaalH1168. 17Then 13they made their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 passH5674 through the fireH784, and 14practicedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and 15soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, provokingH3707 Him. 18So the LordH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478 and 16removedH5493 them from His 17sightH6440; 18noneH3808 was leftH7604 exceptH7534H905 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063.
19AlsoH1571 19JudahH3063 did not keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 their GodH430, but 20walkedH1980 in the 21customsH2708 22whichH834 IsraelH3478 had 23introducedH6213. 20The LordH3068 rejectedH3988 allH3605 the 24descendantsH2233 of IsraelH3478 and afflictedH6031 them and 25gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of plunderersH8154, untilH5704H834 He had castH7993 them 26out of His sightH6440.
21WhenH3588 27He had tornH7167 IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, 28they madeH4427 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427. Then 29JeroboamH3379 droveH5067 IsraelH3478 awayH5067 from followingH310 the LordH3068 and made them 30commitH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401. 22The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 in allH3605 the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 whichH834 he didH6213; they did not departH5493 from them 2331untilH5704H834 the LordH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 from His sightH6440, 32as He spokeH1696 throughH3027 allH3605 His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. 33So IsraelH3478 was carriedH1540 awayH1540 into exileH1540 from their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.
