Israel is frequently referred to as a stiff -neck- ed people (Exod. 32:9; Deut. 10:16). Did not believe in the Lord. This laid the foundation for oll their sins. They did ,not believe in God's . prophets, but harkened to deceivers. 15-18. The peo- ple were charged with following after „vanity," which wa sunderstood to be "nothing," as the gods of the heathen are looked upon by worshippers of Je- hovah. "They are nothing and could do nothing. Therefore to have regard' unto' their is of no avail, and their worship- pers in consequence use prayer in vain to them." -Cab. Bible. In verses 16 and 17 there teal. powerful araignment of larael's wickedness. They abandon: ed themselves to every idolatrous prac- tise observed by the grossest heathen- ism, They sacrificed their children to the god of Moloch, "They sold them- selves to do evil," as did Ahab (1 Kluge 21:25). For all this evil the Lord "re - Moved ahem out of his sight'; ; that is, he permitted them to be tctken from their own land into a strange country and separated bhem from the temple and all the sacred aceosiations dear to God's people. The kingdom of Judah, compos- ed of the tribe of Judah, and portions of other tribes and the Levitee, remain- ed in Palestine. Juestions.-Who was the king of Is- rael at this time?

The whole nation had become completely immoral and idola- trous. Luxury, oppression, lewdness, drunkenness and idolatry prevailed. Ito - thee and. his people were not only inheri- tors of the corruptions of past genera- tions, hut they themselves became agents in propagating and perpetuating the wickedness. noshes began by mak- ing his way to the throne by conspiracy and minder. He trusted not in God, but in an aliance with Egypt. He relied on treachery, double-dealing and on c -lever intrigue to get him out of his dif- ficulties. He played a desperate game. Be learned how vain it was to make covenants with the ungodly and to neg- lect the tree God. His end was disgrnee, misery and imprisonment, '1'he :source of al !these evils is traced to Jmrohoam's fatal step in setting up the two images of calves. His act had in it a principle which logically means the overthrow of the theocracy. One step in the wrong dt- i etion carried many others in its train, the consequences of which stretched far beyond the results inrntedietely seen. Is - mei began with neglecting Jehovah and finished with the frightful sacrifices of divine worship they sank deeper and deper into unbelief and superstition. III. Of a nation's destruction. When neither judgment nor mercy were re- garded and the eup of Israel's transgres- sion was full God "cast them out of his sight." The ten tribes sinned themselves into slavery and everlasting obscurity. They sinned away liberty, property, country and national existence. Crime rained their kingdom. The outeontt of two hundred and fifty years of idolatry was redistribution, stern, vigorously and crushing. Corruption had reached its height which made a crisis inevitable. Man's folly ane.' blindness brought stn's bitter fruit. They who forgot God were themselves forgotten. They who stud- ied to be like the nations were buried among them. They who would not serve God in their own land were made to serve their enemies in a strange land. They weer torn from their own land, ex- iled from home, forced to eat "unclean" things in Assyria, their national exist- ence extinguished, ruled by heathen, sep- milioriviolmsrmatiovamoomrs. Mine.
