2 KINGS 18:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.”
because they did not obey the voice of the LORD their God but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded; they neither listened nor obeyed — the theological explanation for Israel's exile repeats the judgment from chapter 17: failure to obey the LORD's voice and transgression of the covenant. The reference to Moses' commandments emphasizes the continuity from Torah obligation through prophetic warning to exile judgment. Israel's history, from this perspective, represents the failure to listen and obey. This principle, established through Israel's fall, will apply to Judah's potential as well.
