2 Reyes 17:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:18

Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel
Nothing being more provoking to him than idolatry:

and removed them out of his sight;
not out of the reach of his all seeing eye, but from all tokens of his favour, from the good land he had given them, and all the benefits and privileges of it:

there was none left but the tribe of Judah only;
and part of Benjamin, which was annexed to it, and incorporated in it, and made one kingdom, and maintained the same worship; and there was the lot of Simeon, which was within the tribe of Judah; and the priests and the Levites, and various individuals of the several tribes, that came and settled among them for the sake of worship; but no perfect, distinct, tribe besides.

2 Reyes 17:18 In-Context

16 Y abandonaron todos los mandamientos del SE脩OR su Dios, y se hicieron im谩genes fundidas de dos becerros; hicieron una Asera, adoraron a todo el ej茅rcito de los cielos y sirvieron a Baal.
17 Hicieron pasar por el fuego a sus hijos y a sus hijas, practicaron la adivinaci贸n y los augurios, y se entregaron a hacer lo malo ante los ojos del SE脩OR, provoc谩ndole.
18 Y el SE脩OR se air贸 en gran manera contra Israel y los quit贸 de su presencia; no qued贸 sino s贸lo la tribu de Jud谩.
19 Tampoco Jud谩 guard贸 los mandamientos del SE脩OR su Dios, sino que anduvieron en las costumbres que Israel hab铆a introducido.
20 Y el SE脩OR desech贸 a toda la descendencia de Israel, y los afligi贸 y los entreg贸 en mano de saqueadores, hasta que los ech贸 de su presencia.
