2 Kings 17:24-29
24And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 broughtH935 men from BabylonH894, and from CuthahH3575, and from AvaH5755, and from HamathH2574, and from SepharvaimH5617, and placedH3427 them in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 instead of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and they possessedH3423 SamariaH8111, and dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 thereof. 25And so it was at the beginningH8462 of their dwellingH3427 there, that they fearedH3372 not YhwhH3068: therefore YhwhH3068 sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, which slewH2026 some of them. 26Wherefore they spakeH559 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, The nationsH1471 which thou hast removedH1540, and placedH3427 in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, knowH3045 not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776: therefore he hath sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, and, behold, they slayH4191 them, because they knowH3045 not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776. 27Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 commandedH6680, sayingH559, CarryH3212 thither oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom ye broughtH1540 from thence; and let them goH3212 and dwellH3427 there, and let him teachH3384 them the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776. 28Then oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom they had carried awayH1540 from SamariaH8111 cameH935 and dweltH3427 in Beth–elH1008, and taughtH3384 them how they should fearH3372 YhwhH3068. 29Howbeit every nationH1471 madeH6213 godsH430 of their own, and putH3240 them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116 which the SamaritansH8118 had madeH6213, every nationH1471 in their citiesH5892 wherein they dweltH3427.
