1
In the twelfth
year
of Ahaz
king
of Judah
began Hoshea
the son
of Elah
to reign
in Samaria
over
Israel
nine
years
.
2
And he did
that which was
evil
in the sight
of the LORD
,
but 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 gave
him presents
.
4
And the
king
of Assyria
found
conspiracy
in Hoshea
:
for he had sent
messengers
to So
king
of Egypt
,
and brought
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
into Assyria
,
and placed
them in Halah
and in Habor
by
the river
of Gozan
,
and in the cities
of the Medes
.
7
For
so
it was, that the children
of Israel
had sinned
against the LORD
their God
,
which had 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 heathen
,
whom
the LORD
cast out
from before
the children
of Israel
,
and of the kings
of Israel
,
which
they had made
.
9
And the children
of Israel
did secretly
those
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
images
and groves
in
every
high
hill
,
and under
every
green
tree
:
11
And there they burnt incense
in
all
the high places
,
as
did
the heathen
whom the LORD
carried away
before them; and wrought
wicked
things
to provoke the LORD
to anger
:
12
For they served
idols
,
whereof the LORD
had said
unto them, Ye shall not do
this
thing
.
13
Yet the LORD
testified
against Israel
,
and against Judah
,
by
all
the prophets
,
and
by
all
the seers
,
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.
14
Notwithstanding they would not hear
,
but hardened
their necks
, like to the neck
of their fathers
,
that
did not
believe
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
against them; and they followed
vanity
,
and became vain
,
and went after
the heathen
that
were
round about
them,
concerning
whom the LORD
had charged
them, that they should not do like them.
16
And they left
all
the commandments
of the LORD
their God
,
and made
them molten images
,
even
two
calves
,
and made
a grove
,
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
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
For 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 had said
by
all
his servants
the prophets
.
So was
Israel
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 Ava
,
and from Hamath
,
and from Sepharvaim
,
and
place
d
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
:
there
fore the LORD
sent
lions
among them, which slew
some
of them.
26
Wherefore they spake
to the king
of Assyria
,
saying
,
The nations
which thou hast removed
, 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
Then one
of the priests
whom
they had carried away
from Samaria
came
and dwelt
in Bethel
,
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
Succothbenoth
, and
the men
of Cuth
made
Nergal
, and
the men
of Hamath
made
Ashima
,
31
And the Avites
made
Nibhaz
and Tartak
,
and the Sepharvites
burnt
their children
in fire
to Adrammelech
and Anammelech
, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32
So they
feared
the LORD,
and made
unto themselves of the lowest
of them 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
whom
they carried away
from thence.
34
Un
to 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
and 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 a stretched out
arm
,
him shall ye fear
,
and him shall ye worship
,
and to him shall ye do 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
ye shall 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
,
both their children
,
and their children's
children:
as did
their fathers
,
so do
they un
to this
day
.
