21 Perciocchè, dopo ch’egli ebbe stracciato Israele d’addosso alla casa di Davide, e ch’essi ebbero costituito re Geroboamo, figliuolo di Nebat, Geroboamo sviò Israele di dietro al Signore, e gli fece commettere un gran peccato.

2 Re 17:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:21

For he rent Israel from the house of David
In the times of Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when ten tribes revolted from him, signified by the rending of a garment in twelve pieces, ten of which were given to Jeroboam; and it is here ascribed to the Lord, being according to his purpose and decree, and which was brought about by his providence, agreeably to a prophecy of his, see ( 1 Kings 11:30 1 Kings 11:31 )

and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king;
of themselves, without consulting the Lord and his prophets; and which was resented by him, though it was his will, and he had foretold it, that Jeroboam should be king, see ( Hosea 8:4 )

and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord;
forbidding them to go up to Jerusalem to worship; the Targum is,

``made them to err:''

and made them sin a great sin;
obliging them to worship the calves he set up.

2 Re 17:21 In-Context

19 Ma anche Giuda non osservò i comandamenti del Signore Iddio suo; anzi camminò negli statuti di que’ d’Israele, ch’essi aveano fatti.
20 Perciò, il Signore sdegnò tutta la progenie d’Israele, e li afflisse, e li diede in mano di predatori, finchè li ebbe cacciati via dal suo cospetto.
21 Perciocchè, dopo ch’egli ebbe stracciato Israele d’addosso alla casa di Davide, e ch’essi ebbero costituito re Geroboamo, figliuolo di Nebat, Geroboamo sviò Israele di dietro al Signore, e gli fece commettere un gran peccato.
22 Ed i figliuoli d’Israele camminarono in tutti i peccati che Geroboamo avea commessi, e non se ne rivolsero;
23 intanto che il Signore tolse via Israele dal suo cospetto, siccome ne avea parlato per tutti i profeti, suoi servitori; ed Israele fu menato in cattività d’in su la sua terra in Assiria, ove è stato infino ad oggi.
