2 Kings 17:24-31
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 its citiesH5892. 25And so it was at the beginningH8462 of their dwellingH3427 there, that they fearedH3372 not the LORDH3068: therefore the LORDH3068 sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, which slewH2026 some of them. 26Therefore they spokeH559 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, TakeH3212 there oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom ye broughtH1540 from there; 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 BethelH1008, and taughtH3384 them how they should fearH3372 the LORDH3068. 29Yet 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 in which they dweltH3427. 30And the menH582 of BabylonH894 madeH6213 SuccothbenothH5524, and the menH582 of CuthH3575 madeH6213 NergalH5370, and the menH582 of HamathH2574 madeH6213 AshimaH807, 31And the AvitesH5757 madeH6213 NibhazH5026 and TartakH8662, and the SepharvitesH5616 burntH8313 their childrenH1121 in the fireH784 to AdrammelechH152 and AnammelechH6048, the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617.
