2 Kings 17:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:22

For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam
which he did
They observed his injunction, not to go to Jerusalem to worship, and they worshipped the calves he did:

they departed not from them:
in all succeeding reigns, until the time of their captivity.

2 Kings 17:22 In-Context

20 So the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel, afflicted them, and handed them over to plunderers until He had banished them from His presence.

21 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 great sin.

22 The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam committed and did not turn away from them.

23 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 until today.

24 Then the king of Assyria brought [people] from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in place of the Israelites in the cities of Samaria. The settlers took possession of Samaria and lived in its cities.
