2 Kings 17:24-33

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

brought
<0935> (8686)

[men] from Babylon
<0894>_,

and from Cuthah
<03575>_,

and from Ava
<05755>_,

and from Hamath
<02574>_,

and from Sepharvaim
<05617>_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

[them] in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>

instead of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and they possessed
<03423> (8799)

Samaria
<08111>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the cities
<05892>

thereof.

And [so] it was at the beginning
<08462>

of their dwelling
<03427> (8800)

there, [that] they feared
<03372> (8804)

not the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8762)

lions
<0738>

among them, which slew
<02026> (8802)

[some] of them.

Wherefore they spake
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The nations
<01471>

which thou hast removed
<01540> (8689)_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

know
<03045> (8804)

not the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_:

therefore he hath sent
<07971> (8762)

lions
<0738>

among them, and, behold, they slay
<04191> (8688)

them, because they know
<03045> (8802)

not the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_.

Then the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

commanded
<06680> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Carry
<03212> (8685)

thither one
<0259>

of the priests
<03548>

whom ye brought
<01540> (8689)

from thence; and let them go
<03212> (8799)

and dwell
<03427> (8799)

there, and let him teach
<03384> (8686)

them the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_.

Then one
<0259>

of the priests
<03548>

whom they had carried away
<01540> (8689)

from Samaria
<08111>

came
<0935> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Bethel
<01008>_,

and taught
<03384> (8688)

them how they should fear
<03372> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_.

Howbeit every nation
<01471>

made
<06213> (8802)

gods
<0430>

of their own, and put
<03240> (8686)

[them] in the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>

which the Samaritans
<08118>

had made
<06213> (8804)_,

every nation
<01471>

in their cities
<05892>

wherein they dwelt
<03427> (8802)_.

And the men
<0582>

of Babylon
<0894>

made
<06213> (8804)

Succothbenoth
<05524>_,

and the men
<0582>

of Cuth
<03575>

made
<06213> (8804)

Nergal
<05370>_,

and the men
<0582>

of Hamath
<02574>

made
<06213> (8804)

Ashima
<0807>_,

And the Avites
<05757>

made
<06213> (8804)

Nibhaz
<05026>

and Tartak
<08662>_,

and the Sepharvites
<05616>

burnt
<08313> (8802)

their children
<01121>

in fire
<0784>

to Adrammelech
<0152>

and Anammelech
<06048>_,

the gods
<0430>

of Sepharvaim
<05617>_.

So they feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

unto themselves of the lowest
<07098>

of them priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>_,

which sacrificed
<06213> (8802)

for them in the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>_.

They feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8802)

their own gods
<0430>_,

after the manner
<04941>

of the nations
<01471>

whom they carried away
<01540> (8689)

from thence. {whom...: or, who carried them away from thence}
