2 Kings 17:22-24
International Standard Version
22 The Israelis practiced[a] all the sins that Jeroboam had practiced, and never wavered from them 23 until the Lord removed Israel from his presence,[b] just as he had warned through[c] all of his prophets who served him. So Israel was carried off into exile from their own land into Assyria, where they remain to this day.[d]
