The downfall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel was mainly due to

  1. Invasion by the Philistines
  2. Division and infighting among tribes
  3. The rise of powerful neighboring kingdoms
  4. Rejection of the Mosaic Law ✓
Explanation

The Bible says Israel fell to Assyria because the people broke God’s covenant. They worshipped idols and ignored his commands (2 Kings 17).

So the main cause was rejection of the Mosaic Law. The invasion was the result, not the root cause.
