When the LORD tore Israel away The phrase "tore Israel away" signifies a decisive and forceful action by God, reflecting His sovereignty and judgment. The Hebrew root for "tore" is "קָרַע" (qara), which conveys the idea of ripping or dividing with intensity. This action underscores the seriousness of Israel's sin and God's response to their persistent idolatry and rebellion. Historically, this division occurred after Solomon's reign, leading to the split of the united monarchy into the northern kingdom (Israel) and the southern kingdom (Judah). This tearing away was not merely political but spiritual, as it represented a departure from the Davidic covenant and the unity under God's chosen leadership. from the house of David they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king Then Jeroboam led Israel away from following the LORD and caused them to commit a great sin He rent Israel.--The Hebrew as it stands can only mean Israel rent. The want of an object after the transitive verb favours the suggestion of Thenius that the niphal should be restored: Israel rent himself away (comp. the Vulg., "scissus est"). (If Israel were the object, 'eth should be expressed.) Drave.--Hebrew text, put far away (Amos 2:3). Hebrew margin, misled (2Chronicles 21:11); the Targum and Syriac "caused to stray."

The nexus of the verse is with ver. 18. The difference between the fates of Israel and Judah - the survival of Judah for a hundred and thirty-four years - is traced back to the separation under Rehoboam, and to the wicked policy which Jeroboam then pursued, and left as a legacy to his successors.

Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord. The separation alone might not have had any ill result; but it was followed by the appointment of Jeroboam as king, and Jeroboam introduced the fatal taint of idolatry, from which all the other evils flowed, including the earlier destruction of the northern kingdom. Jeroboam not only introduced the worship of the calves, but he "drave Israel from following the Lord " - i.e. compelled the people to discontinue the practice of going up to worship at Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 11:13-16), and required them to take part in the calf-worship.
