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 whichH834 He 5gaveH5749 them. And 6they followedH1980H310 7idolsH1892 and 8becameH1891 emptyH1891, and followedH310 the nationsH1471 that surroundedH5439 them, about whichH834 the 9LordH3068 had commandedH6680 them not to doH6213 as they did. 16And they abandonedH5800 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 and madeH6213 for themselves castH4541 metalH4541 imagesH4541: 10twoH8147 calvesH5695. And they 11madeH6213 an 12AsherahH842, and 13worshipedH2331 allH3605 the heavenlyH8064 14lightsH6635, and 15servedH5647 BaalH1168. 17Then 16they made their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 passH5674 through the fireH784, and they 17practicedH7080 divinationH7081 and interpretingH5172 omensH5172, and 18gaveH4376 themselves overH4376 to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, provokingH3707 Him. 18So the LordH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and He 19removedH5493 them from His 20sightH6440; 21noH3808 one was leftH7604 exceptH7534H905 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063.

1922JudahH3063 did not keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 eitherH1571, but they 2324followedH1980 the 25customsH2708 26whichH834 IsraelH3478 had 27introducedH6213. 20So the LordH3068 rejectedH3988 allH3605 the 28descendantsH2233 of IsraelH3478 and afflictedH6031 them and 29handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to plunderersH8154, untilH5704H834 He had castH7993 them 30outH7993 of His sightH6440.

21WhenH3588 31He had tornH7167 IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, 32they madeH4427 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427. Then 33JeroboamH3379 droveH5067 IsraelH3478 awayH5067 from followingH310 the LordH3068 and misledH2398 them into a greatH1419 sinH2401. 22And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 in allH3605 the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 whichH834 he committedH6213; they did not desistH5493 from them 2334untilH5704H834 the LordH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 from His sightH6440, 35justH3512 asH3512 He had spokenH1696 throughH3027 allH3605 His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. 36So IsraelH3478 wentH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 from their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.
