1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, {cf15i and reigned} nine years.

2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him presents.

4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no present 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.

5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

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 in Habor, {cf15i on} the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

7 And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

8 and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.

9 And the children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

10 and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree:

11 and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

12 and they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

13 Yet the LORD testified unto Israel, and unto Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and of 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 the hand of my servants the prophets.

14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in the LORD their God.

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 {cf15i went} after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them.

16 And they forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

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 the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

20 And the LORD 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.

21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.

22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

23 until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he spake by the hand of all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this day.

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.

25 And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed 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 manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

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 manner of the God of the land.

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 the LORD.

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.

30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth�benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

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.

32 So they feared the LORD, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

34 Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

35 with whom the LORD 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:

36 but the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and unto him shall ye bow yourselves, and to him shall ye sacrifice:

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:

38 and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods:

39 but the LORD your God shall ye fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.

41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children�s children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

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 ^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 ^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 ^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 ^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 ^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 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 ^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 ^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 ^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 ^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 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 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 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 ^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 ^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 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 ^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 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 ^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 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 ^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 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 ^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 ^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 ^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 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 ^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 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 ^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 ^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 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 ^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 ^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 ^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 ^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 ^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, ^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 ^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 ^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 ^H3808 hearken, ^H8085 but ^H3588 ^H518 they ^H1992 did ^H6213 after their former ^H7223 manner. ^H4941

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's ^H1121 children: ^H1121 as ^H834 did ^H6213 their fathers, ^H1 so do ^H6213 they ^H1992 unto ^H5704 this ^H2088 day. ^H3117
