2 Kings 17:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:20

And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel
The ten tribes, with loathing and contempt, and wrote a "loammi" on them, rejected them from being his people, gave them a bill of divorce, and declared them no more under his care and patronage:

and afflicted them;
as he did before he utterly cast them off, as by famine, drought, and pestilence, ( Amos 4:6-11 )

and delivered them into the hands of spoilers;
as, first, into the hands of Hazael and Benhadad, kings of Syria, and then of Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, ( 2 Kings 13:3 2 Kings 13:22 ) ( 15:29 ) ,

until he had cast them out of his sight;
by suffering them, as now, to be carried captive by Shalmaneser, ( 2 Kings 17:6 ) .

2 Kings 17:20 In-Context

18 iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israhel et abstulit eos de conspectu suo et non remansit nisi tribus Iuda tantummodo

19 sed nec ipse Iuda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui verum ambulavit in erroribus Israhel quos operatus fuerat

20 proiecitque Dominus omne semen Israhel et adflixit eos et tradidit in manu diripientium donec proiceret eos a facie sua

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
