2 Kings 17:18-23

18Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. None was left but athe tribe of Judah only.

19 bJudah also did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced. 20And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them cand gave them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

21 dWhen he had torn Israel from the house of David, ethey made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord fand made them commit great sin. 22The people of Israel walked in all the sins that Jeroboam did. They did not depart from them, 23until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight, gas he had spoken by all his servants the prophets. hSo Israel was exiled from their own land to Assyria until this day.
