2 Kings 17:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ When he tore Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, their king. Jeroboam misled Israel, causing them to turn away from following the Lord, making them commit a great sin. ²² The Israelites walked in all of the sins that Jeroboam committed; they did not turn away from them ²³ until the Lord had removed them from out of his sight as he had predicted through all of his servants, the prophets. Israel was exiled out of their own land into Assyria where they are up until the present.
