2 Kings - 17:2 Meaning

“And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

17:1-6 When the measure of sin is filled up, the Lord will forbear no longer. The inhabitants of Samaria must have endured great affliction. Some of the poor Israelites were left in the land. Those who were carried captives to a great distance, were mostly lost among the nations.

“And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.”
