2 Kings 17:27-34

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 1godH430 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.

29And every nationH1471 madeH6213 2godsH430 of their own, and put them in the housesH1004 of the highH1116 placesH1116 that the Samaritans had madeH6213, every nationH1471 in their citiesH5892 in which they dweltH3427.

30And the people of BabylonH894 madeH6213 Succoth-benoth, and the people of Cuth madeH6213 Nergal, and the people of HamathH2574 madeH6213 Ashima,

31and the Avvites madeH6213 Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnedH8313 their children in the fireH784 to AdrammelechH152 and Anammelech the 3gods of SepharvaimH5617.

32So they fearedH3372 Jehovah, and madeH6213 to themselves from all classes of them priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116, who offered [sacrifices] for them in the housesH1004 of the highH1116 placesH1116.

33They fearedH3372 Jehovah, and servedH5647 their own 4godsH430 after the manner of the nationsH1471, whence they had beenH1961 carried away.

34To this dayH3117 they do after their formerH7223 customsH2708: they fearH3372 not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutesH2708 or after their ordinancesH4941, nor after the lawH8451 and commandmentH4687 that Jehovah commandedH6680 the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, whom he namedH8034 IsraelH3478.
