2 Kings 17:21-23 - Summary Of Israel's History
21 for he rent Israel away from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam son of Nebat, king, - and Jeroboam thrust away Israel from following Yahweh, and caused them to commit a great sin. 22 And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he had committed, - they turned not away therefrom; 23 until that Yahweh removed Israel from his presence, according as he spake through all his servants the prophets, - and so Israel was driven away from off their own soil, to Assyria, until this day.
