2 Kings 17:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ When the Lord tore Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king. But Jeroboam drove Israel away from following the Lord. He caused them to commit a great sin. ²² The people of Israel walked in all the sins which Jeroboam did. They did not turn from them ²³ until the Lord removed Israel from his presence, just as he had said through all his servants the prophets. So Israel went to Assyria, into exile from her homeland to this day.
