2 Kings 17:18-23

2 Kings 17:18-23 CSB

Therefore, the LORD was very angry with Israel, and he removed them from his presence. Only the tribe of Judah remained. Even Judah did not keep the commands of the LORD their God but lived according to the customs Israel had practiced. So the LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel, punished them, and handed them over to plunderers until he had banished them from his presence. When the LORD tore Israel from the house of David, Israel made Jeroboam son of Nebat king. Then Jeroboam led Israel away from following the LORD and caused them to commit grave sin. The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam committed and did not turn away from them. Finally, the LORD removed Israel from his presence just as he had declared through all his servants the prophets. So Israel has been exiled to Assyria from their homeland to this very day.

What began as a victorious return to the land in Joshua ends in destruction, defeat, and exile in 2 Kings. The idolatry and sinfulness of Israel and Judah lead to their expulsion from the land - a final ignominy in a long history of unfaithfulness. Yet even in exile, God was preserving his people and the line of David for a future coming King, whose reign would know no end.

From in the Beginning to Amen: June

30 Days

June – No complicated content, just a monthly chronological journey through the Bible. The Bible isn’t arranged in the order events happened; it’s organized by genre. June follows the reign of Solomon and the early years of Israel’s divided kingdom, moving through Kings, Chronicles, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. You’ll see wisdom given, worship established, and warning signs ignored as leadership shifts and hearts drift. This month highlights God’s generosity in granting wisdom, His desire for wholehearted devotion, and the consequences — both good and painful — of how His people respond to Him.
