2 Kings 17:5-12

5Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH5927 up throughout all the landH776, and wentH5927 up to SamariaH8111, and besieged it threeH7969 yearsH8141. 6In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carried IsraelH3478 away unto AssyriaH804, and placed them in HalahH2477, and on the HaborH2249, the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the Medes.

7And it wasH1961 so, because the children of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against Jehovah their GodH430, who broughtH5927 them up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430, 8and walked in the statutesH2708 of the nationsH1471, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they madeH6213. 9And the children of IsraelH3478 did secretly thingsH1697 that were not rightH3651 against Jehovah their GodH430: and they builtH1129 them highH1116 placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fortified cityH5892; 10and they setH5324 them up pillarsH4676 and Asherim upon every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every green treeH6086; 11and there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the highH1116 placesH1116, as did the nationsH1471 whom Jehovah carried away before them; and they wrought wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provokeH3707 Jehovah to angerH3707; 12and they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof Jehovah had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not do this thingH1697.
