2 Kings 17:20

²⁰GOD rejected everyone connected with Israel, made life hard for them, and permitted anyone with a mind to exploit them to do so. And then this final No as he threw them out of his sight.

2 Kings 17 chronicles the final demise of the northern kingdom of Israel, culminating in the fall of Samaria to the Assyrians and the deportation of its people. The chapter provides a profound theological explanation for this catastrophe, attributing Israel's destruction to their persistent idolatry and covenant unfaithfulness. It also describes the subsequent repopulation of Samaria with foreign peoples who blended their pagan worship with a superficial reverence for Yahweh, creating a syncretistic religion.
