2 Kings 17:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ When the Lord ·separated [tore; ripped] them from the ·family [^Lhouse] of David, the Israelites made Jeroboam son of Nebat their king. Jeroboam ·led [drew; enticed] the Israelites away from the Lord and led them to sin greatly [1 Kin. 13:33–34]. ²² So they ·continued to do [persisted; ^Lwalked in] all the sins Jeroboam did. They did not ·stop doing [depart/turn away from] these sins ²³ until the Lord removed the Israelites from his ·presence [sight], just as he had ·said [warned; 14:15–16; 1 Kin. 9:7] through all his servants the prophets. So the Israelites were ·taken out of [carried into exile/deported from] their land to Assyria, and they have been there to this day.
