2 Kings 17:22 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 17:22

20 And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel, afflicted them, and ^adelivered them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them from His ^bsight.

21 For ^aHe tore Israel from the house of David, and ^bthey made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Then Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.

22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them,

23 until the Lord removed Israel out of His sight, ^aas He had said by all His servants the prophets. ^bSo Israel was carried away from their own land to Assyria, as it is to this day.

Assyria Resettles Samaria

24 ^aThen the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, ^bAva, Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they took possession of Samaria and dwelt in its cities.

25 And it was so, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear the Lord; therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
