19 Judah also failed to keep the commandments of the Lord their God; they followed Israel’s example.[a] 20 So the Lord rejected all of Israel’s descendants; he humiliated[b] them and handed them over to robbers, until he had thrown them from his presence. 21 He tore Israel away from David’s dynasty, and Jeroboam son of Nebat became their king.[c] Jeroboam drove Israel away[d] from the Lord and encouraged them to commit a serious sin.[e]

King James Version
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
20 And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord, and made them sin a great sin.
