2 Kings 17:21 in Context — 2 Kings 17
19 Juda même n’avait pas gardé les commandements de l’Éternel, son Dieu, et ils avaient suivi les coutumes établies par Israël.
20 L’Éternel a rejeté toute la race d’Israël; il les a humiliés, il les a livrés entre les mains des pillards, et il a fini par les chasser loin de sa face.
21 Car Israël s’était détaché de la maison de David, et ils avaient fait roi Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui les avait détournés de l’Éternel, et avait fait commettre à Israël un grand péché.
22 Les enfants d’Israël s’étaient livrés à tous les péchés que Jéroboam avait commis; ils ne s’en détournèrent point,
23 jusqu’à ce que l’Éternel eût chassé Israël loin de sa face, comme il l’avait annoncé par tous ses serviteurs les prophètes. Et Israël a été emmené captif loin de son pays en Assyrie, où il est resté jusqu’à ce jour.
