2 Kings 17:21-23

21 aWhen he had torn Israel from the house of David, bthey made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord cand 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, das he had spoken by all his servants the prophets. eSo Israel was exiled from their own land to Assyria until this day.
