He did (Jer.3); but that was involving only the "house of Israel" (ten tribes), not "Judah". It's why the ten tribes of Israel became lost to the world, while the "house of Judah" (Jews) did not.
And it's also why The Father sent His Son Jesus Christ as Redeemer, especially for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Veteran... the only reason Judah wasn't included in the scattering of Israel
was because the Messiah had to be born in Bethlehem. They were protected
by God until Jesus Christ came through the line of Judah. But we all know
what happened in 70 AD to 73 AD, God sent His armies to scatter and destroy
the temple @ Jerusalem because of their 40 year rejection of Jesus.
In essence, God divorced them just as He had given Israel their papers and
sent them away, he also sent Judah away even to this present day. Just as
God's Glory departed from Shiloh because of their sinful ways, God's Glory left
Jerusalem when Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, from the Mount of Olives.
Jesus had to first come and do His first work, which is, die on the cross and be
raised from the dead, before Judah could be included in this divorce. Jesus came
back ten days later @ the feast of Pentecost and places His Name (Glory) in a
different temple. What temple do you think that is? It is the temple of our bodies.
1st Cor. 3:16,
16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and
that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
So God took His Name from Israel first, and then He took His Name from Judah. He
placed it within whosoever would believe in the message of His Son. "The Elect" is
about bearing or manifesting His Glory, or God's Name being written on your temple
as a living stone that fits into the corporate temple, that is fitly joined together.
Let me leave you with what God told Jeremiah about Judah, Jer. 7:12-15 says,
12 But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where
I made My name dwell at the first, and see what I did
to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.
13 And now, because you have done all these things,
declares the Lord, and I spoke to you, rising up early
and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you,
but you did not answer,
14 therefore, I will do to the house which is called by
My name, in which you trust, and to the place which I
gave you and your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
15 And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast
out all your brothers, all the offspring of Ephraim."
What a God! What a Plan!
