1. In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, and reigned nine years.
|
1. In the twelfth H8147 H6240 year H8141 of Ahaz H271 king H4428 of Judah H3063 began Hoshea H1954 the son H1121 of Elah H425 to reign H4427 in Samaria H8111 over H5921 Israel H3478 nine H8672 years H8141 .
|
|
2. And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
|
2. And he did H6213 that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 , but H7535 not H3808 as the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 that H834 were H1961 before H6440 him.
|
|
3. Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
|
3. Against H5921 him came up H5927 Shalmaneser H8022 king H4428 of Assyria H804 ; and Hoshea H1954 became H1961 his servant H5650 , and gave H7725 him presents H4503 .
|
|
4. And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
|
4. And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 found H4672 conspiracy H7195 in Hoshea H1954 : for he had sent H7971 messengers H4397 to H413 So H5471 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , and brought H5927 no H3808 present H4503 to the king H4428 of Assyria H804 , as he had done year H8141 by year H8141 : therefore the king H4428 of Assyria H804 shut him up H6113 , and bound H631 him in prison H1004 H3608 .
|
|
5. Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
|
5. Then the king H4428 of Assyria H804 came up H5927 throughout all H3605 the land H776 , and went up H5927 to Samaria H8111 , and besieged H6696 H5921 it three H7969 years H8141 .
|
|
6. In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away unto Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
|
6. In the ninth H8671 year H8141 of Hoshea H1954 the king H4428 of Assyria H804 took H3920 H853 Samaria H8111 , and carried Israel away H1540 H853 H3478 into Assyria H804 , and placed H3427 them in Halah H2477 and in Habor H2249 by the river H5104 of Gozan H1470 , and in the cities H5892 of the Medes H4074 .
|
|
7. And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
|
7. For so it was H1961 , that H3588 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 had sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068 their God H430 , which had brought them up H5927 H853 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , from under H4480 H8478 the hand H3027 of Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , and had feared H3372 other H312 gods H430 ,
|
|
8. and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
|
8. And walked H1980 in the statutes H2708 of the heathen H1471 , whom H834 the LORD H3068 cast out H3423 from before H4480 H6440 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 , which H834 they had made H6213 .
|
|
9. And the children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Jehovah their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
|
9. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did secretly H2644 those things H1697 that H834 were not H3808 right H3651 against H5921 the LORD H3068 their God H430 , and they built H1129 them high places H1116 in all H3605 their cities H5892 , from the tower H4480 H4026 of the watchmen H5341 to H5704 the fenced H4013 city H5892 .
|
|
10. and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree;
|
10. And they set them up H5324 images H4676 and groves H842 in H5921 every H3605 high H1364 hill H1389 , and under H8478 every H3605 green H7488 tree H6086 :
|
|
11. and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Jehovah carried away before them; and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;
|
11. And there H8033 they burnt incense H6999 in all H3605 the high places H1116 , as did the heathen H1471 whom H834 the LORD H3068 carried away H1540 before H4480 H6440 them ; and wrought H6213 wicked H7451 things H1697 to provoke H3707 H853 the LORD H3068 to anger:
|
|
12. and they served idols, whereof Jehovah had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
|
12. For they served H5647 idols H1544 , whereof H834 the LORD H3068 had said H559 unto them , Ye shall not H3808 do H6213 H853 this H2088 thing H1697 .
|
|
13. Yet Jehovah testified unto Israel, and unto Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, Turn ye 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.
|
13. Yet the LORD H3068 testified H5749 against Israel H3478 , and against Judah H3063 , by H3027 all H3605 the prophets H5030 , and by all H3605 the seers H2374 , saying H559 , Turn H7725 ye from your evil ways H4480 H1870 H7451 , and keep H8104 my commandments H4687 and my statutes H2708 , according to all H3605 the law H8451 which H834 I commanded H6680 H853 your fathers H1 , and which H834 I sent H7971 to H413 you by H3027 my servants H5650 the prophets H5030 .
|
|
14. Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in Jehovah their God.
|
14. Notwithstanding they would not H3808 hear H8085 , but hardened H7185 H853 their necks H6203 , like to the neck H6203 of their fathers H1 , that H834 did not H3808 believe H539 in the LORD H3068 their God H430 .
|
|
15. And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified unto them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them.
|
15. And they rejected H3988 H853 his statutes H2706 , and his covenant H1285 that H834 he made H3772 with H854 their fathers H1 , and his testimonies H5715 which H834 he testified H5749 against them ; and they followed H1980 H310 vanity H1892 , and became vain H1891 , and went after H310 the heathen H1471 that H834 were round about H5439 them, concerning whom H834 the LORD H3068 had charged H6680 them , that they should not H1115 do H6213 like them.
|
|
16. And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
|
16. And they left H5800 H853 all H3605 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 their God H430 , and made H6213 them molten images H4541 , even two H8147 calves H5695 , and made H6213 a grove H842 , and worshiped H7812 all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven H8064 , and served H5647 H853 Baal H1168 .
|
|
17. And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
|
17. And they caused H853 their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323 to pass through H5674 the fire H784 , and used H7080 divination H7081 and enchantments H5172 , and sold themselves H4376 to do H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 , to provoke him to anger H3707 .
|
|
18. Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
|
18. Therefore the LORD H3068 was very angry H599 H3966 with Israel H3478 , and removed H5493 them out of H4480 H5921 his sight H6440 : there was none H3808 left H7604 but H7535 the tribe H7626 of Judah H3063 only H905 .
|
|
19. Also Judah kept not the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
|
19. Also H1571 Judah H3063 kept H8104 not H3808 H853 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 their God H430 , but walked H1980 in the statutes H2708 of Israel H3478 which H834 they made H6213 .
|
|
20. And Jehovah rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
|
20. And the LORD H3068 rejected H3988 all H3605 the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 , and afflicted H6031 them , and delivered H5414 them into the hand H3027 of spoilers H8154 , until H5704 H834 he had cast them out H7993 of his sight H4480 H6440 .
|
|
21. For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Jehovah, and made them sin a great sin.
|
21. For H3588 he rent H7167 Israel H3478 from H4480 H5921 the house H1004 of David H1732 ; and they made H853 Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028 king H4427 : and Jeroboam H3379 drove H5080 H853 Israel H3478 from following H4480 H310 the LORD H3068 , and made them sin H2398 a great H1419 sin H2401 .
|
|
22. And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
|
22. For the children H1121 of Israel H3478 walked H1980 in all H3605 the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 which H834 he did H6213 ; they departed H5493 not H3808 from H4480 them;
|
|
23. until Jehovah removed Israel out of his sight, as he spake by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
|
23. Until H5704 H834 the LORD H3068 removed H5493 H853 Israel H3478 out of H4480 H5921 his sight H6440 , as H834 he had said H1696 by H3027 all H3605 his servants H5650 the prophets H5030 . So was Israel H3478 carried away H1540 out of H4480 H5921 their own land H127 to Assyria H804 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
24. And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
|
24. And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 brought H935 men from Babylon H4480 H894 , and from Cuthah H4480 H3575 , and from Ava H4480 H5755 , and from Hamath H4480 H2574 , and from Sepharvaim H5617 , and placed H3427 them in the cities H5892 of Samaria H8111 instead H8478 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 : and they possessed H3423 H853 Samaria H8111 , and dwelt H3427 in the cities H5892 thereof.
|
|
25. And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not Jehovah: therefore Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
|
25. And so it was H1961 at the beginning H8462 of their dwelling H3427 there H8033 , that they feared H3372 not H3808 H853 the LORD H3068 : therefore the LORD H3068 sent H7971 H853 lions H738 among them , which slew H2026 some of them.
|
|
26. Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the law of the god of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the law of the god of the land.
|
26. Wherefore they spoke H559 to the king H4428 of Assyria H804 , saying H559 , The nations H1471 which H834 thou hast removed H1540 , and placed H3427 in the cities H5892 of Samaria H8111 , know H3045 not H3808 H853 the manner H4941 of the God H430 of the land H776 : therefore he hath sent H7971 H853 lions H738 among them, and, behold H2009 , they slay H4191 them, because H834 they know H3045 not H369 H853 the manner H4941 of the God H430 of the land H776 .
|
|
27. Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.
|
27. Then the king H4428 of Assyria H804 commanded H6680 , saying H559 , Carry H1980 thither H8033 one H259 of the priests H4480 H3548 whom H834 ye brought H1540 from thence H4480 H8033 ; and let them go H1980 and dwell H3427 there H8033 , and let him teach H3384 them H853 the manner H4941 of the God H430 of the land H776 .
|
|
28. So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.
|
28. Then one H259 of the priests H4480 H3548 whom H834 they had carried away H1540 from Samaria H4480 H8111 came H935 and dwelt H3427 in Bethel H1008 , and taught H3384 them how H349 they should fear H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
29. Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
|
29. Howbeit every nation H1471 H1471 made H6213 gods H430 of their own , and put H5117 them in the houses H1004 of the high places H1116 which H834 the Samaritans H8118 had made H6213 , every nation H1471 H1471 in their cities H5892 wherein H834 H8033 they H1992 dwelt H3427 .
|
|
30. And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
|
30. And the men H376 of Babylon H894 made H6213 H853 Succothbenoth H5524 , and the men H376 of Cuth H3575 made H6213 H853 Nergal H5370 , and the men H376 of Hamath H2574 made H6213 H853 Ashima H807 ,
|
|
31. and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
|
31. And the Avites H5761 made H6213 Nibhaz H5026 and Tartak H8662 , and the Sepharvites H5617 burnt H8313 H853 their children H1121 in fire H784 to Adrammelech H152 and Anammelech H6048 , the gods H430 of Sepharvaim H5617 .
|
|
32. So they feared Jehovah, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
|
32. So they feared H1961 H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 , and made H6213 unto themselves of the lowest H4480 H7098 of them priests H3548 of the high places H1116 , which sacrificed H6213 for them in the houses H1004 of the high places H1116 .
|
|
33. They feared Jehovah, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
|
33. They feared H1961 H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 , and served H1961 H5647 their own gods H430 , after the manner H4941 of the nations H1471 whom H834 H853 they carried away H1540 from thence H4480 H8033 .
|
|
34. Unto this day they do after the former manner: they fear not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which Jehovah commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
|
34. Unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 they H1992 do H6213 after the former H7223 manners H4941 : they fear H3372 not H369 H853 the LORD H3068 , neither H369 do H6213 they after their statutes H2708 , or after their ordinances H4941 , or after the law H8451 and commandment H4687 which H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 H853 the children H1121 of Jacob H3290 , whom H834 he named H7760 H8034 Israel H3478 ;
|
|
35. with whom Jehovah had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
|
35. With H854 whom the LORD H3068 had made H3772 a covenant H1285 , and charged H6680 them, saying H559 , Ye shall not H3808 fear H3372 other H312 gods H430 , nor H3808 bow yourselves H7812 to them, nor H3808 serve H5647 them, nor H3808 sacrifice H2076 to them:
|
|
36. but Jehovah, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, him shall ye fear, and unto him shall ye bow yourselves, and to him shall ye sacrifice:
|
36. But H3588 H518 H853 the LORD H3068 , who H834 brought you up H5927 H853 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 with great H1419 power H3581 and a stretched out H5186 arm H2220 , him shall ye fear H3372 , and him shall ye worship H7812 , and to him shall ye do sacrifice H2076 .
|
|
37. and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods:
|
37. And the statutes H2706 , and the ordinances H4941 , and the law H8451 , and the commandment H4687 , which H834 he wrote H3789 for you , ye shall observe H8104 to do H6213 forevermore H3605 H3117 ; and ye shall not H3808 fear H3372 other H312 gods H430 .
|
|
38. and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods:
|
38. And the covenant H1285 that H834 I have made H3772 with H854 you ye shall not H3808 forget H7911 ; neither H3808 shall ye fear H3372 other H312 gods H430 .
|
|
39. but Jehovah your God shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
|
39. But H3588 H518 H853 the LORD H3068 your God H430 ye shall fear H3372 ; and he H1931 shall deliver H5337 you out of the hand H4480 H3027 of all H3605 your enemies H341 .
|
|
40. Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
|
40. Howbeit they did not H3808 hearken H8085 , but H3588 H518 they H1992 did H6213 after their former H7223 manner H4941 .
|
|
41. So these nations feared Jehovah, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their childrens children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
|
41. So these H428 nations H1471 feared H1961 H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 , and served H5647 their graven images H6456 , both H1571 their children H1121 , and their children H1121 's children H1121 : as H834 did H6213 their fathers H1 , so do H6213 they H1992 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 .
