2 Kings 17:14-23 Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but stiffened their neck, like the neck of their fathers who did not believe in LORD their God.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but stiffened their neck, like the neck of their fathers who did not believe in LORD their God. ¹⁵ And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them. And they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom LORD had charged them that they should not do like them. ¹⁶ And they forsook all the commandments of LORD their God, and made for them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. ¹⁷ And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of LORD to provoke him to anger. ¹⁸ Therefore LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight. There was none left but only the tribe of Judah. ¹⁹ Also Judah did not keep the commandments of LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. ²⁰ And LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. ²¹ For he tore Israel from the house of David. And they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following LORD, and made them sin a great sin. ²² And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did. They did not depart from them ²³ until LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
