2 Kings 17:16-23

[16] And they left  all the commandments  of the LORD  their God,  and made  them molten images,  even two  calves,  and made  a grove,  and worshipped  all the host  of heaven,  and served  Baal.  [17] And they caused their sons  and their daughters  to pass  through the fire,  and used  divination  and enchantments,  and sold  themselves to do  evil  in the sight  of the LORD,  to provoke him to anger.  [18] Therefore the LORD  was very  angry  with Israel,  and removed  them out of his sight:  there was none left  but the tribe  of Judah  [19] Also Judah  kept  not the commandments  of the LORD  their God,  in the statutes  of Israel  which they made.  [20] And the LORD  rejected  all the seed  of Israel,  and afflicted  them, and delivered  them into the hand  of spoilers,  until he had cast  them out of his sight.  [21] For he rent  Israel  from the house  of David;  and they made Jeroboam  the son  of Nebat  king:  and Jeroboam  Israel  from following  the LORD,  and made them sin  a great  sin.  [22] For the children  of Israel  in all the sins  of Jeroboam  which he did;  they departed  [23] Until the LORD  removed  Israel  out of his sight,  as he had said  by  all his servants  the prophets.  So was Israel  carried away  out of their own land  to Assyria  unto this day.
