2 Kings 17:1-41

In the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

year
<08141>

of Ahaz
<0271>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Hoshea
<01954>

the son
<01121>

of Elah
<0425>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

in Samaria
<08111>

over Israel
<03478>

nine
<08672>

years
<08141>_.

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

but not as the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

that were before
<06440>

him.

Against him came up
<05927> (8804)

Shalmaneser
<08022>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_;

and Hoshea
<01954>

became his servant
<05650>_,

and gave
<07725> (8686)

him presents
<04503>_.

{gave: Heb. rendered} {presents: or, tribute}

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

found
<04672> (8799)

conspiracy
<07195>

in Hoshea
<01954>_:

for he had sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

to So
<05471>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and brought
<05927> (8689)

no present
<04503>

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

as [he had done] year
<08141>

by year
<08141>_:

therefore the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

shut him up
<06113> (8799)_,

and bound
<0631> (8799)

him in prison
<01004> <03608>_.

{present: or, tribute}

Then the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

came up
<05927> (8799)

throughout all the land
<0776>_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_,

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

it three
<07969>

years
<08141>_.

In the ninth
<08671>

year
<08141>

of Hoshea
<01954>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

took
<03920> (8804)

Samaria
<08111>_,

and carried
<01540> (0)

Israel
<03478>

away
<01540> (8686)

into Assyria
<0804>_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

them in Halah
<02477>

and in Habor
<02249>

[by] the river
<05104>

of Gozan
<01470>_,

and in the cities
<05892>

of the Medes
<04074>_.

For [so] it was, that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

had sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

which had brought them up
<05927> (8688)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

from under the hand
<03027>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and had feared
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

And walked
<03212> (8799)

in the statutes
<02708>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

cast out
<03423> (8689)

from before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which they had made
<06213> (8804)_.

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did secretly
<02644> (8762)

[those] things
<01697>

that [were] not right against the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and they built
<01129> (8799)

them high places
<01116>

in all their cities
<05892>_,

from the tower
<04026>

of the watchmen
<05341> (8802)

to the fenced
<04013>

city
<05892>_.

And they set them up
<05324> (8686)

images
<04676>

and groves
<0842>

in every high
<01364>

hill
<01389>_,

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_:

{images: Heb. statues}

And there they burnt incense
<06999> (8762)

in all the high places
<01116>_,

as [did] the heathen
<01471>

whom the LORD
<03068>

carried away
<01540> (8689)

before
<06440>

them; and wrought
<06213> (8799)

wicked
<07451>

things
<01697>

to provoke the LORD
<03068>

to anger
<03707> (8687)_:

For they served
<05647> (8799)

idols
<01544>_,

whereof the LORD
<03068>

had said
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Ye shall not do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_.

Yet the LORD
<03068>

testified
<05749> (8686)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and against Judah
<03063>_,

by
<03027>

all the prophets
<05030>_,

[and by] all the seers
<02374>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Turn
<07725> (8798)

ye from your evil
<07451>

ways
<01870>_,

and keep
<08104> (8798)

my commandments
<04687>

[and] my statutes
<02708>_,

according to all the law
<08451>

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

your fathers
<01>_,

and which I sent
<07971> (8804)

to you by
<03027>

my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

Notwithstanding they would not hear
<08085> (8804)_,

but hardened
<07185> (8686)

their necks
<06203>_,

like to the neck
<06203>

of their fathers
<01>_,

that did not believe
<0539> (8689)

in the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

And they rejected
<03988> (8799)

his statutes
<02706>_,

and his covenant
<01285>

that he made
<03772> (8804)

with their fathers
<01>_,

and his testimonies
<05715>

which he testified
<05749> (8689)

against them; and they followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

vanity
<01892>_,

and became vain
<01891> (8799)_,

and went after
<0310>

the heathen
<01471>

that [were] round about
<05439>

them, [concerning] whom the LORD
<03068>

had charged
<06680> (8765)

them, that they should not do
<06213> (8800)

like them.

And they left
<05800> (8799)

all the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

them molten images
<04541>_,

[even] two
<08147>

calves
<05695>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a grove
<0842>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baal
<01168>_.

And they caused their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>

to pass
<05674> (8686)

through the fire
<0784>_,

and used
<07080> (8799)

divination
<07081>

and enchantments
<05172> (8762)_,

and sold
<04376> (8691)

themselves to do
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to provoke him to anger
<03707> (8687)_.

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

was very
<03966>

angry
<0599> (8691)

with Israel
<03478>_,

and removed
<05493> (8686)

them out of his sight
<06440>_:

there was none left
<07604> (8738)

but the tribe
<07626>

of Judah
<03063>

only.

Also Judah
<03063>

kept
<08104> (8804)

not the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

but walked
<03212> (8799)

in the statutes
<02708>

of Israel
<03478>

which they made
<06213> (8804)_.

And the LORD
<03068>

rejected
<03988> (8799)

all the seed
<02233>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and afflicted
<06031> (8762)

them, and delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of spoilers
<08154> (8802)_,

until he had cast
<07993> (8689)

them out of his sight
<06440>_.

For he rent
<07167> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

from the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_;

and they made Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>

king
<04427> (8686)_:

and Jeroboam
<03379>

drave
<05080> (8686) (8675) <05077> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and made them sin
<02398> (8689)

a great
<01419>

sin
<02401>_.

For the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

walked
<03212> (8799)

in all the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_;

they departed
<05493> (8804)

not from them;

Until the LORD
<03068>

removed
<05493> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out of his sight
<06440>_,

as he had said
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

all his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

So was Israel
<03478>

carried away
<01540> (8799)

out of their own land
<0127>

to Assyria
<0804>

unto this day
<03117>_.

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}

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>_;

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:

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)_.

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>_.

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>_.

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)_.

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

but they did
<06213> (8802)

after their former
<07223>

manner
<04941>_.

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>_.
