17:18 So the Lord was furious 1  with Israel and rejected them; 2  only the tribe of Judah was left. 17:19 Judah also failed to keep the commandments of the Lord their God; they followed Israel’s example. 3  17:20 So the Lord rejected all of Israel’s descendants; he humiliated 4  them and handed them over to robbers, until he had thrown them from his presence.

2 Kings 17:23
