2 Kings 17:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:23

Until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight
Suffered them to be carried captive into the land of Assyria:

as he had said by all his servants the prophets;
by Hosea, Amos, Micah, and others; see their prophecies, and also ( 1 Kings 13:32 ) ( 1 Kings 14:15 1 Kings 14:16 ) ,

so was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this
day;
the time of the writing this book; nor have they returned unto our days, nearly 2,800 years later.

2 Kings 17:23 In-Context

21 For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Yahweh, and made them sin a great sin.

22 The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn't depart from them;

23 until Yahweh removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.

24 The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in the cities of it.

25 So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn't fear Yahweh: therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
