2 Kings 17:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:23

Until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight
Suffered them to be carried captive into the land of Assyria:

as he had said by all his servants the prophets;
by Hosea, Amos, Micah, and others; see their prophecies, and also ( 1 Kings 13:32 ) ( 1 Kings 14:15 1 Kings 14:16 ) ,

so was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this
day;
the time of the writing this book; nor have they returned unto our days, nearly 2,800 years later.

2 Kings 17:23 In-Context

21 ex eo iam tempore quo scissus est Israhel a domo David et constituerunt sibi regem Hieroboam filium Nabath separavit enim Hieroboam Israhel a Domino et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum

22 et ambulaverunt filii Israhel in universis peccatis Hieroboam quae fecerat non recesserunt ab eis

23 usquequo auferret Dominus Israhel a facie sua sicut locutus fuerat in manu omnium servorum suorum prophetarum translatusque est Israhel de terra sua in Assyrios usque in diem hanc

24 adduxit autem rex Assyriorum de Babylone et de Chutha et de Haiath et de Emath et de Sepharvaim et conlocavit eos in civitatibus Samariae pro filiis Israhel qui possederunt Samariam et habitaverunt in urbibus eius

25 cumque ibi habitare coepissent non timebant Dominum et inmisit eis Dominus leones qui interficiebant eos
