2 Kings 17:24-27

241The kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 broughtH935 men from BabylonH894 and from CuthahH3575 and from 23AvvaH5755 and from 4HamathH2574 and SepharvaimH5617, and settledH3427 them in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 in placeH8478 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. So they possessedH3423 SamariaH8111 and livedH3427 in its citiesH5892. 25At the beginningH8462 of their livingH3427 thereH8033, they 5did not fearH3372 the LordH3068; therefore the LordH3068 sentH7971 lionsH738 among them which killedH2026 some of them. 26So they spokeH559 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, “The nationsH1471 whomH834 you have carriedH1540 awayH1540 into exileH1540 in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 do not knowH3045 the customH4941 of the godH430 of the landH776; so he has sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, and beholdH2009, they killH4191 them becauseH834 they do not knowH3045 the customH4941 of the godH430 of the landH776.”

27Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 commandedH6680, sayingH559, “TakeH1980 thereH8033 oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whomH834 you carriedH1540 awayH1540 into 6exileH1540 and let 7him goH1980 and liveH3427 thereH8033; and let him teachH3384 them the customH4941 of the godH430 of the landH776.”
