2 Kings 17:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ So the Lord was very angry with Israel. He removed them from his land. Only the tribe of Judah was left. ¹⁹ And even Judah didn’t obey the commands of the Lord their God. They followed the practices Israel had started. ²⁰ So the Lord turned his back on all the people of Israel. He made them suffer. He handed them over to people who stole everything they had. And finally he threw them out of his land.
