(20) And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel.—Thenius prefers the reading of the LXX. “and rejected the Lord (as in the last clause of 2Ki_17:19), and the Lord, was angry with all the seed of Israel,” &c. It thus becomes plain that the writer goes back to 2Ki_17:18, after the parenthesis relating to Judah. “Israel” is used in the narrow sense in those verses.
Into the hand of spoilers—e.g., the Syrians (2Ki_10:32;) and the Assyrians (2Ki_15:19; 2Ki_15:29; 2Ki_17:3. The writer probably remembered Jdg_2:14.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel.…
And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel. God is no respecter of persons. As he had rejected the ten tribes on account of certain transgressions, which have been enumerated (vers. 8-17), so, when Judah committed the self-same sins, and transgressed equally, Judah had equally to be rejected. All the seed of Israel" is the entire nation Israel in the widest sense, made up of Judah and of Israel in the narrow sense. So Keil, rightly. And afflicted them by the hands of Sargon, and Sennacherib, and Esarhaddon, (2Ch_33:11) and Pharaoh-Nechoh, and othersand delivered them into the hands of spoilers. The "spoilers" intended are probably, first, the "bands of the Chaldees, and of the Syrians, and of the Moabites, and of the children of Ammon," who were let loose upon Judaea by Nebuchadnezzar when Jehoiakim rebelled against him, (2Ki_24:2) and secondly Nebuchadnezzar himself and Nebuzaradan, who completed the spoliation of the country, and plundered Jerusalem itself, to punish the revolts of Jehoiachid and Zedekiah, (2Ki_24:13-16 and 2Ki_25:8-21) when all the treasures of the temple were carried off. Until he had cast them out of his sight; i.e. until he had punished Judah as he had previously punished Israel (ver. 18), which was what justice required.
