2 Kings 17:24-28

24And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 broughtH935 [peopleH1121] from BabylonH894, and from CuthahH3575, and from Avva, and from HamathH2574, and from SepharvaimH5617, and made them dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 instead of the children of IsraelH3478; and they possessedH3423 SamariaH8111, and dweltH3427 in its citiesH5892.

25And so it wasH1961, at the beginning of their dwellingH3427 there, that they fearedH3372 not Jehovah; and Jehovah sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, which killedH2026 [some] of them.

26And they spoke to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sayingH559, The nationsH1471 that thou hast removed and madeH3045 to dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 knowH3045 not the manner of the 1godH430 of the landH776; therefore he has sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, and behold, they slay them, because they knowH3045 not the manner of the 2godH430 of the landH776.

27And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 commandedH6680 sayingH559, Carry thither oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom ye have brought away from thence; and let them goH1540 and abide there, and let him teachH3384 them the manner of the 3godH430 of the landH776.

28Then oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom they had carried away from SamariaH8111 cameH935 and abode in Bethel, and taughtH3384 them howH349 they should fearH3372 Jehovah.
