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:

2 Kings 17:22 In-Context

20 so Yahweh rejected all the offspring of Israel and punished them, and he gave them into the hand of the plunderers until he banished them from his presence.

21 For he had torn Israel from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king, but Jeroboam detached Israel from following Yahweh, and he made them sin a great sin.

22 The {Israelites} walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he committed, and they did not depart from it,

23 until Yahweh removed Israel from his presence as he had foretold by the hand of all his servants, the prophets. And so he deported Israel from upon his land to Assyria until this day.

24 The king of Assyria brought from Babylonia, from Cush, from Arva, from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and he settled [them] in the cities of Samaria in place of the {Israelites}, so they took possession of Samaria and lived in her cities.
