Context

Israel Carried Captive to Assyria

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.²³Finally, the LORD removed Israel from His presence, as He had declared through all His servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their homeland into Assyria, where they are to this day.

Summary

This verse describes the fulfillment of the Lord's word through the prophets that He would remove Israel from His presence due to their persistent disobedience. The exile of Israel from their land was a consequence of their idolatry and rejection of God's commandments. Despite numerous warnings and opportunities for repentance, the people continued in their sinful ways, leading to the judgment of exile. This event serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of obedience and faithfulness to God's covenant in order to avoid His righteous judgment.
