2 Kings 17:5-12
5Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH5927 upH5927 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the landH776, and wentH5927 upH5927 to SamariaH8111, and besieged it threeH7969 yearsH8141.
6In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 unto AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477, and in HaborH2249, on the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.
7And it was soH1961, becauseH3588 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 againstH2398 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which broughtH5927 them upH5927 outH3027 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 from underH8478 the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430,
8and walked in the statutesH2708 of the nationsH1471, whomH834 the LORDH3068 castH3423 outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 they madeH6213.
9And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH834 secretlyH2644 things that were notH3808 rightH3651 againstH5921 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them highH1116 placesH1116 in allH3605 their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fenced cityH5892.
10and they setH5324 them upH5921 pillarsH4676 and AsherimH842 uponH5921 everyH3605 highH1364 hillH1389, and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086:
11and there they burntH6999 incenseH6999 in allH3605 the highH1116 placesH1116, as didH6213 the nationsH1471 whomH834 the LORDH3068 carriedH1540 awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wrought wickedH7451 things to provokeH3707 the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
12and they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall notH3808 doH6213 this thingH1697.
