2 Kings 17:21
Israel Carried Captive to Assyria
20So the LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel. He afflicted them and delivered them into the hands of plunderers, until He had banished them from His presence.21When the LORD had torn Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam led Israel away from following the LORD and caused them to commit a great sin.22The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam had committed and did not turn away from them.
