2 Kings 17:26-41

17:26

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>_.

17:27

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>_.

17:28

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>_.

17:29

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)_.

17:30

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>_,

17:31

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>_.

17:32

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>_.

17:33

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}

17:34

Unto this day
<03117>

they do
<06213> (8802)

after the former
<07223>

manners
<04941>_:

they fear
<03373>

not the LORD
<03068>_,

neither do
<06213> (8802)

they after their statutes
<02708>_,

or after their ordinances
<04941>_,

or after the law
<08451>

and commandment
<04687>

which the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

the children
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

whom he named
<07760> (8804) <08034>

Israel
<03478>_;

17:35

With whom the LORD
<03068>

had made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_,

and charged
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall not fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

nor bow
<07812> (8691)

yourselves to them, nor serve
<05647> (8799)

them, nor sacrifice
<02076> (8799)

to them:

17:36

But the LORD
<03068>_,

who brought you up
<05927> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

with great
<01419>

power
<03581>

and a stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>_,

him shall ye fear
<03372> (8799)_,

and him shall ye worship
<07812> (8691)_,

and to him shall ye do sacrifice
<02076> (8799)_.

17:37

And the statutes
<02706>_,

and the ordinances
<04941>_,

and the law
<08451>_,

and the commandment
<04687>_,

which he wrote
<03789> (8804)

for you, ye shall observe
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

for evermore
<03117>_;

and ye shall not fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

17:38

And the covenant
<01285>

that I have made
<03772> (8804)

with you ye shall not forget
<07911> (8799)_;

neither shall ye fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

17:39

But the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

ye shall fear
<03372> (8799)_;

and he shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of all your enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

17:40

Howbeit they did not hearken
<08085> (8804)_,

but they did
<06213> (8802)

after their former
<07223>

manner
<04941>_.

17:41

So these nations
<01471>

feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8802)

their graven images
<06456>_,

both their children
<01121>_,

and their children's
<01121>

children
<01121>_:

as did
<06213> (8804)

their fathers
<01>_,

so do
<06213> (8802)

they unto this day
<03117>_.
