2 Kings 17:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ But Judah didn’t keep the commands of the Lord their God either. They followed the practices of Israel. ²⁰ So the Lord rejected all of Israel’s descendants. He punished them, and he handed them over to enemies who plundered them until he finally threw them out of his sight.

²¹ When Israel broke away^[a] from David’s dynasty, they made Nebat’s son Jeroboam the king. Jeroboam drove Israel away from the Lord. He caused them to commit great sin.
