2 Kings 17:24-29

24And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 broughtH935 men from BabylonH894, and from CuthahH3575, and from Avva, and from HamathH2574 and SepharvaimH5617, and placed them in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 instead of the children of IsraelH3478; and they possessedH3423 SamariaH8111, and dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 thereof. 25And so it wasH1961, at the beginning of their dwellingH3427 there, that they fearedH3372 not Jehovah: therefore Jehovah sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, which killedH2026 some of them. 26Wherefore they spake to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, The nationsH1471 which thou hast carried awayH7971, and placed in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, knowH3045 not the law of the godH430 of the landH776: therefore he hath sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they knowH3045 not the law of the godH430 of the landH776.

27Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 commandedH6680, sayingH559, Carry thither oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom ye brought from thence; and let them goH1540 and dwellH3427 there, and let him teachH3384 them the law of the godH430 of the landH776. 28So oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom they had carried away from SamariaH8111 cameH935 and dweltH3427 in Beth-el, and taughtH3384 them howH349 they should fearH3372 Jehovah. 29Howbeit every nationH1471 madeH6213 godsH430 of their own, and put them in the housesH1004 of the highH1116 placesH1116 which the Samaritans had madeH6213, every nationH1471 in their citiesH5892 wherein they dweltH3427.
