2 Kings 17:21-23 - Summary Of Israel's History
21 For he rent Israel from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, king; and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD and made them commit a great sin. 22 For the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them 23 until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his slaves the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
