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 Abandonaron todos los mandamientos del SE脩OR su Dios, y se hicieron dos 铆dolos fundidos en forma de becerro y una imagen de la diosa Aser谩. Se postraron ante todos los astros del cielo y adoraron a Baal;
17 sacrificaron en el fuego a sus hijos e hijas; practicaron la adivinaci贸n y la hechicer铆a; en fin, se entregaron a hacer lo que ofende al SE脩OR, provocando as铆 su ira.
18 Por lo tanto, el SE脩OR se enoj贸 mucho contra Israel y lo arroj贸 de su presencia. Solo qued贸 la tribu de Jud谩.
19 Pero aun Jud谩 dej贸 de cumplir los mandatos del SE脩OR su Dios y sigui贸 las costumbres que introdujo Israel.
20 Por eso el SE脩OR rechaz贸 a todos los israelitas: los afligi贸 y los entreg贸 en manos de invasores, y acab贸 por arrojarlos de su presencia.
