TSK · Jeremiah 52:3

David Displeases the Lord by Taking a Census The LORD’s anger again raged against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying,“Go count Israel and Judah.”

So the LORD was furious with Israel and rejected them; only the tribe of Judah was left.

Finally the LORD rejected Israel just as he had warned he would do through all his servants the prophets. Israel was deported from its land to Assyria and remains there to this very day.

so that he may initiate a search of the records of his predecessors and discover in those records that this city is rebellious and injurious to both kings and provinces, producing internal revolts from long ago. It is for this very reason that this city was destroyed.

The Problem with Foolish Rulers Woe to you, O land, when your king is childish, and your princes feast in the morning!

The LORD says,“I will make youths their officials; malicious young men will rule over them.

Your claim to have a strategy and military strength is just empty talk. In whom are you trusting, that you would dare to rebel against me?
