2 Kings 17:5-12

5Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 throughout all the landH776, and went upH5927 to SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it threeH7969 yearsH8141.

6In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074. 7For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against YhwhH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430, 8And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom YhwhH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213. 9And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against YhwhH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892. 10And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086:1 11And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom YhwhH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke YhwhH3068 to angerH3707: 12For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof YhwhH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
