Judah Is Also Guilty

¹⁹ ·But even [Also] Judah did not ·obey [keep; observe] the commands of the Lord their God. They ·did what [followed/^Lwalked in the practices] the Israelites had done, ²⁰ so the Lord rejected all the ·people [descendants] of Israel. He ·punished [afflicted] them and ·let others destroy them [handed them over to plunderers/marauders]; he ·threw [banished; thrust] them out of his ·presence [sight]. ²¹ When the Lord ·separated [tore; ripped] them from the ·family [^Lhouse] of David, the Israelites made Jeroboam son of Nebat their king. Jeroboam ·led [drew; enticed] the Israelites away from the Lord and led them to sin greatly [1 Kin. 13:33–34].
