2 Kings 17:24-41

17:24
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.
17:25
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.
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>_.
