SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:20
Y desechó el SEÑOR toda la simiente de Israel, y los afligió, y los entregó en manos de saqueadores, hasta echarlos de su presencia.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel , etc.] The ten tribes, with loathing and contempt, and wrote a “loammi” on them, rejected them from being his people, gave them a bill of divorce, and declared them no more under his care and patronage: and afflicted them ; as he did before he utterly cast them off, as by famine, drought, and pestilence, ( Amos 4:6-11) and delivered them into the hands of spoilers ; as, first, into the hands of Hazael and Benhadad, kings of Syria, and then of Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, ( 2 Kings 13:3,22 15:29), until he had cast them out of his sight ; by suffering them, as now, to be carried captive by Shalmaneser, ( 2 Kings 17:6).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-23 - Though the destruction of the kingdom of the ten tribes was but briefl related, it is in these verses largely commented upon, and the reason of it given. It was destruction from the Almighty: the Assyrian was but the rod of his anger, Isa 10:5. Those that bring sin into a country of family, bring a plague into it, and will have to answer for all the mischief that follows. And vast as the outward wickedness of the worl is, the secret sins, evil thoughts, desires, and purposes of mankin are much greater. There are outward sins which are marked by infamy but ingratitude, neglect, and enmity to God, and the idolatry an impiety which proceed therefrom, are far more malignant. Withou turning from every evil way, and keeping God's statutes, there can be no true godliness; but this must spring from belief of his testimony as to wrath against all ungodliness and unrighteousness, and his merc in Christ Jesus.
