took the carved image he had made
on 2 Chronicles 33:7-9
The image stands in the house where God promised David and Solomon, “I will establish My Name forever”, the promise of 1 Chronicles 28. Verse 8 restates the condition: Israel keeps the land “if only they are careful to do all that I have commanded them through Moses”.
This site's exposition
leave the land that I assigned
The promise echoes 2 Samuel 7:10, where the LORD pledged to plant Israel in its own place. Deuteronomy 28:63 had warned that a people who broke the law of Moses would be torn from the land. Chapter 36 shows the feet leaving.
