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.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 17 of 2 Kings. Judah is not excluded from the evaluation, because the narrator states that it followed the same paths as Israel. The deportation of the northern kingdom fulfills the warnings the Lord had spoken through his prophets. The section emphasizes the stability of the divine word amid the instability of monarchies. Kings change, dynasties disappear, and territories are conquered, but prophetic warnings remain. The reader is prepared to observe Judah’s history with the same question: will it learn from Israel’s fate or repeat its trajectory?

Darum verwarf der HERR allen Samen Israels und drängte sie und gab sie in die Hände der Räuber, bis er sie verwarf von seinem Angesicht.

Jehová rechazó a toda la descendencia de Israel, los afligió y los entregó en manos de saqueadores hasta arrojarlos de su presencia.
L'Eternel 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.
Perciò, il Signore sdegnò tutta la progenie d’Israele, e li afflisse, e li diede in mano di predatori, finchè li ebbe cacciati via dal suo cospetto.
Por isso o SENHOR rejeitou a toda a descendência de Israel, e os oprimiu, e os deu nas mãos dos despojadores, até que os expulsou da sua presença.
耶和華就厭棄 以色列 所有的後裔,使他們受苦,把他們交在搶奪他們的人手中,直到他把他們從自己面前趕出去。
