2 Kings 17:24-29

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)_.
