"until Jehovah removed Israel out of his sight, as he spake by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day." — 2 Kings 17:23 (ASV)
Until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight
Suffered them to be carried captive into the land of Assyria:
as he had said by all his servants the prophets ;
by Hosea, Amos, Micah, and others; see their prophecies, and also (1 Kings 13:32) (1 Kings 14:15 1 Kings 14:16) ,
so was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this
day ;
the time of the writing this book; nor have they returned unto our days, nearly 2,800 years later.
