2 Kings 17:27-34

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. 30And the menH376 of BabylonH894 madeH6213 Succoth-benoth, and the menH376 of Cuth madeH6213 Nergal, and the menH376 of HamathH2574 madeH6213 Ashima, 31and the Avvites madeH6213 Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fireH784 to AdrammelechH152 and Anammelech, the gods of SepharvaimH5617. 32So they fearedH3372 Jehovah, and madeH6213 unto them from among themselves priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116, who sacrificed for them in the housesH1004 of the highH1116 placesH1116. 33They fearedH3372 Jehovah, and servedH5647 their own godsH430, after the manner of the nationsH1471 from among whom they had beenH1961 carried away.

34Unto this dayH3117 they do after the formerH7223 manner: they fearH3372 not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutesH2708, or after their ordinancesH4941, or after the lawH8451 or after the commandmentH4687 which Jehovah commandedH6680 the children of JacobH3290, whom he namedH8034 IsraelH3478;
