Context
Israel Exiled Because of Idolatry
21When the LORD had torn Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam led Israel away from following the LORD and caused them to commit a great sin. 22The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam had committed and did not turn away from them. 23Finally, the LORD removed Israel from His presence, as He had declared through all His servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their homeland into Assyria, where they are to this day.…

The Israelites
This phrase refers to the ten northern tribes of Israel, distinct from the southern kingdom of Judah. Historically, these tribes were often led astray by their kings, particularly after the division of the united monarchy following Solomon's reign. The term "Israelites" here emphasizes their identity as God's chosen people, who were expected to uphold His covenant. Despite their privileged status, they frequently fell into idolatry and disobedience, highlighting the tension between divine election and human responsibility.

persisted
The Hebrew root for "persisted" is "ḥāṭā'," which conveys a sense of continuous action or stubbornness. This word choice underscores the Israelites' obstinate commitment to sin, despite numerous warnings from prophets. Their persistence in wrongdoing reflects a hardened heart and a willful rejection of God's commandments. This persistence is a cautionary tale about the dangers of habitual sin and the difficulty of repentance once a pattern of disobedience is established.

in all the sins
The phrase "in all the sins" indicates the comprehensive nature of their transgressions. It wasn't just isolated incidents but a systemic and pervasive pattern of sinfulness. This suggests a culture that had normalized disobedience to God, where sin was not only tolerated but entrenched in their way of life. The breadth of their sinfulness serves as a warning about the corrupting influence of unchecked sin within a community.

that Jeroboam committed
Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom, is infamous for leading Israel into idolatry by setting up golden calves in Bethel and Dan (1 Kings 12:28-30). His actions were a direct violation of the first two commandments and set a precedent for future kings. The reference to Jeroboam highlights the long-lasting impact of leadership and the responsibility of those in authority to guide their people in righteousness. Jeroboam's legacy is a sobering reminder of how one leader's sin can influence generations.

and did not turn away from them
This phrase emphasizes the Israelites' refusal to repent. The Hebrew concept of "turning away" (shuv) is often associated with repentance, a turning back to God. Their failure to turn away from sin indicates a deliberate choice to remain in rebellion against God. This stubbornness ultimately led to their downfall and exile, illustrating the severe consequences of unrepentant sin. It serves as a call to self-examination and the importance of repentance in restoring one's relationship with God.

(22) The children of Israel walked . . .--Israel obstinately persisted in the sin of Jeroboam, in spite of all warning.

Verse 22. - For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did. The nation, having been once persuaded to adopt Jeroboam's innovations, continued to "walk" in them - followed Jeroboam's example in "all his sins" - gave up the temple-worship altogether; accepted the ministrations of priests not of the seed of Aaron (1 Kings 13:33; 2 Chronicles 13:9); brought their tithes to these idol-priests; sacrificed to the calves at Dan and Bethel (Amos 4:4); and put their trust in the "similitude of a calf that eateth hay." They departed not from them (comp. 1 Kings 15:26, 34; 1 Kings 16:2, 19, 26, 31; 2 Kings 3:3; 2 Kings 10:29; 2 Kings 13:6, 11; 2 Kings 14:24; 2 Kings 15:9, 18, 28).
