²¹ When he tore^(A) Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat their king.^(B) Jeroboam enticed Israel away from following the Lord and caused them to commit a great sin.^{(C) 22} The Israelites persisted in all the sins of Jeroboam and did not turn away from them ²³ until the Lord removed them from his presence,^(D) as he had warned^(E) through all his servants the prophets. So the people of Israel were taken from their homeland^(F) into exile in Assyria, and they are still there.
