Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 17 of 2 Kings. The narrator interrupts the political sequence to explain why Israel went into exile. He lists the rejection of the Lord, idolatry, the construction of worship sites, imitation of the nations, and refusal to listen to the prophets. The fall of Samaria is thus presented as a theological event before being merely military. God had repeatedly warned the people through his prophets, but Israel persisted in its practices. Exile is interpreted as the accumulated consequence of a prolonged breach of the covenant.

Perciò, il Signore si adirò grandemente contro ad Israele, e li rimosse dal suo cospetto, e non vi restò, se non la tribù di Giuda sola.
Portanto o SENHOR muito se indignou contra Israel, e os tirou de diante da sua face; nada mais ficou, senão somente a tribo de Judá.
