2 Kings 17:14
Compare all
12 for they served idols, aof which the Lord had said to them, b“You shall not do this thing.”  
13 Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His aprophets, bevery seer, saying, c“Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.”  
14 Nevertheless they would not hear, but astiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who bdid not believe in the Lord their God.  
15 And they arejected His statutes band His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed cidols, dbecame idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should enot do like them.  
16 So they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, amade for themselves a molded image and two calves, bmade a wooden image and worshiped all the chost of heaven, dand served Baal.  
17 aAnd they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, bpracticed witchcraft and soothsaying, and csold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.  
18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight; there was none left abut the tribe of Judah alone.  
19 Also aJudah did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.  
20 And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel, afflicted them, and adelivered them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them from His bsight.  
21 For aHe tore Israel from the house of David, and bthey made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Then Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.  
22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them,
23 until the Lord removed Israel out of His sight, aas He had said by all His servants the prophets. bSo Israel was carried away from their own land to Assyria, as it is to this day.  

Assyria Resettles Samaria

24 aThen the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, bAva, Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they took possession of Samaria and dwelt in its cities.  
25 And it was so, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear the Lord; therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
