KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H8147 In the twelfth H6240   H8141 year H271 of Ahaz H4428 king H3063 of Judah H1954 began Hoshea H1121 the son H425 of Elah H4427 to reign [H8804]   H8111 in Samaria H3478 over Israel H8672 nine H8141 years.
  2 H6213 And he did [H8799]   H7451 that which was evil H5869 in the sight H3068 of the LORD H4428 , but not as the kings H3478 of Israel H6440 that were before him.
  3 H5927 Against him came up [H8804]   H8022 Shalmaneser H4428 king H804 of Assyria H1954 ; and Hoshea H5650 became his servant H7725 , and gave [H8686]   H4503 him presents.
  4 H4428 And the king H804 of Assyria H4672 found [H8799]   H7195 conspiracy H1954 in Hoshea H7971 : for he had sent [H8804]   H4397 messengers H5471 to So H4428 king H4714 of Egypt H5927 , and brought [H8689]   H4503 no present H4428 to the king H804 of Assyria H8141 , as he had done year H8141 by year H4428 : therefore the king H804 of Assyria H6113 shut him up [H8799]   H631 , and bound [H8799]   H1004 him in prison H3608  .
  5 H4428 Then the king H804 of Assyria H5927 came up [H8799]   H776 throughout all the land H5927 , and went up [H8799]   H8111 to Samaria H6696 , and besieged [H8799]   H7969 it three H8141 years.
  6 H8671 In the ninth H8141 year H1954 of Hoshea H4428 the king H804 of Assyria H3920 took [H8804]   H8111 Samaria H1540 , and carried H3478 Israel H1540 away [H8686]   H804 into Assyria H3427 , and placed [H8686]   H2477 them in Halah H2249 and in Habor H5104 by the river H1470 of Gozan H5892 , and in the cities H4074 of the Medes.
  7 H1121 For so it was, that the children H3478 of Israel H2398 had sinned [H8804]   H3068 against the LORD H430 their God H5927 , which had brought them up [H8688]   H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt H3027 , from under the hand H6547 of Pharaoh H4428 king H4714 of Egypt H3372 , and had feared [H8799]   H312 other H430 gods,
  8 H3212 And walked [H8799]   H2708 in the statutes H1471 of the heathen H3068 , whom the LORD H3423 cast out [H8689]   H6440 from before H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H4428 , and of the kings H3478 of Israel H6213 , which they had made [H8804]  .
  9 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H2644 did secretly [H8762]   H1697 those things H3068 that were not right against the LORD H430 their God H1129 , and they built [H8799]   H1116 them high places H5892 in all their cities H4026 , from the tower H5341 of the watchmen [H8802]   H4013 to the fenced H5892 city.
  10 H5324 And they set them up [H8686]   H4676 images H842 and groves H1364 in every high H1389 hill H7488 , and under every green H6086 tree:
  11 H6999 And there they burnt incense [H8762]   H1116 in all the high places H1471 , as did the heathen H3068 whom the LORD H1540 carried away [H8689]   H6440 before H6213 them; and wrought [H8799]   H7451 wicked H1697 things H3068 to provoke the LORD H3707 to anger [H8687]  :
  12 H5647 For they served [H8799]   H1544 idols H3068 , whereof the LORD H559 had said [H8804]   H6213 unto them, Ye shall not do [H8799]   H1697 this thing.
  13 H3068 Yet the LORD H5749 testified [H8686]   H3478 against Israel H3063 , and against Judah H3027 , by H5030 all the prophets H2374 , and by all the seers H559 , saying [H8800]   H7725 , Turn [H8798]   H7451 ye from your evil H1870 ways H8104 , and keep [H8798]   H4687 my commandments H2708 and my statutes H8451 , according to all the law H6680 which I commanded [H8765]   H1 your fathers H7971 , and which I sent [H8804]   H3027 to you by H5650 my servants H5030 the prophets.
  14 H8085 Notwithstanding they would not hear [H8804]   H7185 , but hardened [H8686]   H6203 their necks H6203 , like to the neck H1 of their fathers H539 , that did not believe [H8689]   H3068 in the LORD H430 their God.
  15 H3988 And they rejected [H8799]   H2706 his statutes H1285 , and his covenant H3772 that he made [H8804]   H1 with their fathers H5715 , and his testimonies H5749 which he testified [H8689]   H3212 against them; and they followed [H8799]   H310   H1892 vanity H1891 , and became vain [H8799]   H310 , and went after H1471 the heathen H5439 that were round about H3068 them, concerning whom the LORD H6680 had charged [H8765]   H6213 them, that they should not do [H8800]   like them.
  16 H5800 And they left [H8799]   H4687 all the commandments H3068 of the LORD H430 their God H6213 , and made [H8799]   H4541 them molten images H8147 , even two H5695 calves H6213 , and made [H8799]   H842 a grove H7812 , and worshipped [H8691]   H6635 all the host H8064 of heaven H5647 , and served [H8799]   H1168 Baal.
  17 H1121 And they caused their sons H1323 and their daughters H5674 to pass [H8686]   H784 through the fire H7080 , and used [H8799]   H7081 divination H5172 and enchantments [H8762]   H4376 , and sold [H8691]   H6213 themselves to do [H8800]   H7451 evil H5869 in the sight H3068 of the LORD H3707 , to provoke him to anger [H8687]  .
  18 H3068 Therefore the LORD H3966 was very H599 angry [H8691]   H3478 with Israel H5493 , and removed [H8686]   H6440 them out of his sight H7604 : there was none left [H8738]   H7626 but the tribe H3063 of Judah only.
  19 H3063 Also Judah H8104 kept [H8804]   H4687 not the commandments H3068 of the LORD H430 their God H3212 , but walked [H8799]   H2708 in the statutes H3478 of Israel H6213 which they made [H8804]  .
  20 H3068 And the LORD H3988 rejected [H8799]   H2233 all the seed H3478 of Israel H6031 , and afflicted [H8762]   H5414 them, and delivered [H8799]   H3027 them into the hand H8154 of spoilers [H8802]   H7993 , until he had cast [H8689]   H6440 them out of his sight.
  21 H7167 For he rent [H8804]   H3478 Israel H1004 from the house H1732 of David H3379 ; and they made Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat H4427 king [H8686]   H3379 : and Jeroboam H5080 drave [H8686]   [H8675]   H5077   [H8686]   H3478 Israel H310 from following H3068 the LORD H2398 , and made them sin [H8689]   H1419 a great H2401 sin.
  22 H1121 For the children H3478 of Israel H3212 walked [H8799]   H2403 in all the sins H3379 of Jeroboam H6213 which he did [H8804]   H5493 ; they departed [H8804]   not from them;
  23 H3068 Until the LORD H5493 removed [H8689]   H3478 Israel H6440 out of his sight H1696 , as he had said [H8765]   H3027 by H5650 all his servants H5030 the prophets H3478 . So was Israel H1540 carried away [H8799]   H127 out of their own land H804 to Assyria H3117 unto this day.
  24 H4428 And the king H804 of Assyria H935 brought [H8686]   H894 men from Babylon H3575 , and from Cuthah H5755 , and from Ava H2574 , and from Hamath H5617 , and from Sepharvaim H3427 , and placed [H8686]   H5892 them in the cities H8111 of Samaria H1121 instead of the children H3478 of Israel H3423 : and they possessed [H8799]   H8111 Samaria H3427 , and dwelt [H8799]   H5892 in the cities thereof.
  25 H8462 And so it was at the beginning H3427 of their dwelling [H8800]   H3372 there, that they feared [H8804]   H3068 not the LORD H3068 : therefore the LORD H7971 sent [H8762]   H738 lions H2026 among them, which slew [H8802]   some of them.
  26 H559 Wherefore they spake [H8799]   H4428 to the king H804 of Assyria H559 , saying [H8800]   H1471 , The nations H1540 which thou hast removed [H8689]   H3427 , and placed [H8686]   H5892 in the cities H8111 of Samaria H3045 , know [H8804]   H4941 not the manner H430 of the God H776 of the land H7971 : therefore he hath sent [H8762]   H738 lions H4191 among them, and, behold, they slay [H8688]   H3045 them, because they know [H8802]   H4941 not the manner H430 of the God H776 of the land.
  27 H4428 Then the king H804 of Assyria H6680 commanded [H8762]   H559 , saying [H8800]   H3212 , Carry [H8685]   H259 thither one H3548 of the priests H1540 whom ye brought [H8689]   H3212 from thence; and let them go [H8799]   H3427 and dwell [H8799]   H3384 there, and let him teach [H8686]   H4941 them the manner H430 of the God H776 of the land.
  28 H259 Then one H3548 of the priests H1540 whom they had carried away [H8689]   H8111 from Samaria H935 came [H8799]   H3427 and dwelt [H8799]   H1008 in Bethel H3384 , and taught [H8688]   H3372 them how they should fear [H8799]   H3068 the LORD.
  29 H1471 Howbeit every nation H6213 made [H8802]   H430 gods H3240 of their own, and put [H8686]   H1004 them in the houses H1116 of the high places H8118 which the Samaritans H6213 had made [H8804]   H1471 , every nation H5892 in their cities H3427 wherein they dwelt [H8802]  .
  30 H582 And the men H894 of Babylon H6213 made [H8804]   H5524 Succothbenoth H582 , and the men H3575 of Cuth H6213 made [H8804]   H5370 Nergal H582 , and the men H2574 of Hamath H6213 made [H8804]   H807 Ashima,
  31 H5757 And the Avites H6213 made [H8804]   H5026 Nibhaz H8662 and Tartak H5616 , and the Sepharvites H8313 burnt [H8802]   H1121 their children H784 in fire H152 to Adrammelech H6048 and Anammelech H430 , the gods H5617 of Sepharvaim.
  32 H3373 So they feared H3068 the LORD H6213 , and made [H8799]   H7098 unto themselves of the lowest H3548 of them priests H1116 of the high places H6213 , which sacrificed [H8802]   H1004 for them in the houses H1116 of the high places.
  33 H3373 They feared H3068 the LORD H5647 , and served [H8802]   H430 their own gods H4941 , after the manner H1471 of the nations H1540 whom they carried away [H8689]   from thence.
  34 H3117 Unto this day H6213 they do [H8802]   H7223 after the former H4941 manners H3373 : they fear H3068 not the LORD H6213 , neither do [H8802]   H2708 they after their statutes H4941 , or after their ordinances H8451 , or after the law H4687 and commandment H3068 which the LORD H6680 commanded [H8765]   H1121 the children H3290 of Jacob H7760 , whom he named [H8804]   H8034   H3478 Israel;
  35 H3068 With whom the LORD H3772 had made [H8799]   H1285 a covenant H6680 , and charged [H8762]   H559 them, saying [H8800]   H3372 , Ye shall not fear [H8799]   H312 other H430 gods H7812 , nor bow [H8691]   H5647 yourselves to them, nor serve [H8799]   H2076 them, nor sacrifice [H8799]   to them:
  36 H3068 But the LORD H5927 , who brought you up [H8689]   H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt H1419 with great H3581 power H5186 and a stretched out [H8803]   H2220 arm H3372 , him shall ye fear [H8799]   H7812 , and him shall ye worship [H8691]   H2076 , and to him shall ye do sacrifice [H8799]  .
  37 H2706 And the statutes H4941 , and the ordinances H8451 , and the law H4687 , and the commandment H3789 , which he wrote [H8804]   H8104 for you, ye shall observe [H8799]   H6213 to do [H8800]   H3117 for evermore H3372 ; and ye shall not fear [H8799]   H312 other H430 gods.
  38 H1285 And the covenant H3772 that I have made [H8804]   H7911 with you ye shall not forget [H8799]   H3372 ; neither shall ye fear [H8799]   H312 other H430 gods.
  39 H3068 But the LORD H430 your God H3372 ye shall fear [H8799]   H5337 ; and he shall deliver [H8686]   H3027 you out of the hand H341 of all your enemies [H8802]  .
  40 H8085 Howbeit they did not hearken [H8804]   H6213 , but they did [H8802]   H7223 after their former H4941 manner.
  41 H1471 So these nations H3373 feared H3068 the LORD H5647 , and served [H8802]   H6456 their graven images H1121 , both their children H1121 , and their children's H1121 children H6213 : as did [H8804]   H1 their fathers H6213 , so do [H8802]   H3117 they unto this day.
