2 Kings 17:24-33 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelled in the cities thereof.

24 H4428 And the king H804 of Assyria H935 brought H894 men from Babylon, H3575 and from Cuthah, H5755 and from Ava, H2574 and from Hamath, H5617 and from Sepharvaim, H3427 and placed H5892 them in the cities H8111 of Samaria H8478 instead H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel: H3423 and they possessed H8111 Samaria, H3427 and dwelled H5892 in the cities thereof.

25 H8462 And so it was at the beginning H3427 of their dwelling H8033 there, H3372 that they feared H3068 not the LORD: H3068 therefore the LORD H7971 sent H738 lions H2026 among them, which slew some of them.

26 H559 Why they spoke H4428 to the king H804 of Assyria, H559 saying, H1471 The nations H834 which H1540 you have removed, H3427 and placed H5892 in the cities H8111 of Samaria, H3045 know H4941 not the manner H430 of the God H776 of the land: H7971 therefore he has sent H738 lions H2009 among them, and, behold, H4191 they slay H834 them, because H3045 they know H4941 not the manner H430 of the God H776 of the land.

27 H4428 Then the king H804 of Assyria H6680 commanded, H559 saying, H1980 Carry H8033 thither H259 one H3548 of the priests H834 whom H1540 you brought H8033 from there; H3212 and let them go H3427 and dwell H8033 there, H3384 and let him teach H4941 them the manner H430 of the God H776 of the land.

28 H259 Then one H3548 of the priests H834 whom H1540 they had carried H1540 away H8111 from Samaria H935 came H3427 and dwelled H1008 in Bethel, H3384 and taught H349 them how H3372 they should fear H3068 the LORD.

29 H1471 However, every nation H6213 made H430 gods H3240 of their own, and put H1004 them in the houses H1116 of the high H834 places which H8118 the Samaritans H6213 had made, H1471 every nation H5892 in their cities H834 wherein H8033 H3427 they dwelled.

30 H582 And the men H894 of Babylon H6213 made H5524 Succothbenoth, H582 and the men H3575 of Cuth H6213 made H5370 Nergal, H582 and the men H2574 of Hamath H6213 made H807 Ashima,

31 H5757 And the Avites H6213 made H5026 Nibhaz H8662 and Tartak, H5616 and the Sepharvites H8313 burnt 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 H7098 to themselves of the lowest H3548 of them priests H1116 of the high H1961 places, which H6213 sacrificed H1004 for them in the houses H1116 of the high places.

33 H3373 They feared H3068 the LORD, H5647 and served H430 their own gods, H4941 after the manner H1471 of the nations H834 whom H1540 they carried H1540 away H8033 from there.
