2 Kings 17:28-41

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; 35with whom Jehovah had madeH3772 a covenantH1285, and charged them, sayingH559, Ye shall not fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430, nor bowH7812 yourselves to them, nor serveH5647 them, nor sacrificeH2076 to them: 36but Jehovah, who broughtH5927 you up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 power and with an outstretchedH5186 armH2220, him shall ye fearH3372, and unto him shall ye bowH7812 yourselves, and to him shall ye sacrificeH2076: 37and the statutesH2706 and the ordinancesH4941, and the lawH8451 and the commandmentH4687, which he wroteH3789 for you, ye shall observeH8104 to do for evermore; and ye shall not fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430: 38and the covenantH1285 that I have madeH3772 with you ye shall not forgetH7911; neither shall ye fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430: 39but Jehovah your GodH430 shall ye fearH3372; and he will deliverH5337 you out of the handH3027 of all your enemiesH341. 40Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their formerH7223 manner. 41So these nationsH1471 fearedH3372 Jehovah, and servedH5647 their graven images; their children likewise, and their children’s children, as did their fathersH1, so do they unto this dayH3117.
