2 Kings 17:7-23

17:7

For [so] it was, that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

had sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

which had brought them up
<05927> (8688)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

from under the hand
<03027>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and had feared
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

17:8

And walked
<03212> (8799)

in the statutes
<02708>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

cast out
<03423> (8689)

from before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which they had made
<06213> (8804)_.

17:9

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did secretly
<02644> (8762)

[those] things
<01697>

that [were] not right against the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and they built
<01129> (8799)

them high places
<01116>

in all their cities
<05892>_,

from the tower
<04026>

of the watchmen
<05341> (8802)

to the fenced
<04013>

city
<05892>_.

17:10

And they set them up
<05324> (8686)

images
<04676>

and groves
<0842>

in every high
<01364>

hill
<01389>_,

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_:

{images: Heb. statues}

17:11

And there they burnt incense
<06999> (8762)

in all the high places
<01116>_,

as [did] the heathen
<01471>

whom the LORD
<03068>

carried away
<01540> (8689)

before
<06440>

them; and wrought
<06213> (8799)

wicked
<07451>

things
<01697>

to provoke the LORD
<03068>

to anger
<03707> (8687)_:

17:12

For they served
<05647> (8799)

idols
<01544>_,

whereof the LORD
<03068>

had said
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Ye shall not do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_.

17:13

Yet the LORD
<03068>

testified
<05749> (8686)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and against Judah
<03063>_,

by
<03027>

all the prophets
<05030>_,

[and by] all the seers
<02374>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Turn
<07725> (8798)

ye from your evil
<07451>

ways
<01870>_,

and keep
<08104> (8798)

my commandments
<04687>

[and] my statutes
<02708>_,

according to all the law
<08451>

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

your fathers
<01>_,

and which I sent
<07971> (8804)

to you by
<03027>

my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

17:14

Notwithstanding they would not hear
<08085> (8804)_,

but hardened
<07185> (8686)

their necks
<06203>_,

like to the neck
<06203>

of their fathers
<01>_,

that did not believe
<0539> (8689)

in the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

17:15

And they rejected
<03988> (8799)

his statutes
<02706>_,

and his covenant
<01285>

that he made
<03772> (8804)

with their fathers
<01>_,

and his testimonies
<05715>

which he testified
<05749> (8689)

against them; and they followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

vanity
<01892>_,

and became vain
<01891> (8799)_,

and went after
<0310>

the heathen
<01471>

that [were] round about
<05439>

them, [concerning] whom the LORD
<03068>

had charged
<06680> (8765)

them, that they should not do
<06213> (8800)

like them.

17:16

And they left
<05800> (8799)

all the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

them molten images
<04541>_,

[even] two
<08147>

calves
<05695>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a grove
<0842>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baal
<01168>_.

17:17

And they caused their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>

to pass
<05674> (8686)

through the fire
<0784>_,

and used
<07080> (8799)

divination
<07081>

and enchantments
<05172> (8762)_,

and sold
<04376> (8691)

themselves to do
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to provoke him to anger
<03707> (8687)_.

17:18

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

was very
<03966>

angry
<0599> (8691)

with Israel
<03478>_,

and removed
<05493> (8686)

them out of his sight
<06440>_:

there was none left
<07604> (8738)

but the tribe
<07626>

of Judah
<03063>

only.

17:19

Also Judah
<03063>

kept
<08104> (8804)

not the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

but walked
<03212> (8799)

in the statutes
<02708>

of Israel
<03478>

which they made
<06213> (8804)_.

17:20

And the LORD
<03068>

rejected
<03988> (8799)

all the seed
<02233>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and afflicted
<06031> (8762)

them, and delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of spoilers
<08154> (8802)_,

until he had cast
<07993> (8689)

them out of his sight
<06440>_.

17:21

For he rent
<07167> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

from the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_;

and they made Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>

king
<04427> (8686)_:

and Jeroboam
<03379>

drave
<05080> (8686) (8675) <05077> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and made them sin
<02398> (8689)

a great
<01419>

sin
<02401>_.

17:22

For the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

walked
<03212> (8799)

in all the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_;

they departed
<05493> (8804)

not from them;

17:23

Until the LORD
<03068>

removed
<05493> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out of his sight
<06440>_,

as he had said
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

all his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

So was Israel
<03478>

carried away
<01540> (8799)

out of their own land
<0127>

to Assyria
<0804>

unto this day
<03117>_.
