updv - 2Kings:17:24-41

updv@2Kings:17:24 @ 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 sons of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.

updv@2Kings:17:25 @ And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn't fear Yahweh: therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them.

updv@2Kings:17:26 @ Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which you have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, don't know the law of the god of the land: therefore he has sent lions among them, and, look, they slay them, because they don't know the law of the god of the land.

updv@2Kings:17:27 @ Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry there one of the priests whom you(note:){+}(:note) brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.

updv@2Kings:17:28 @ 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 Yahweh.

updv@2Kings:17:29 @ Nevertheless 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 in which they dwelt.

updv@2Kings:17:30 @ And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

updv@2Kings:17:31 @ and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their sons in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

updv@2Kings:17:32 @ So they feared Yahweh, and made to them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

updv@2Kings:17:33 @ They feared Yahweh, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

updv@2Kings:17:34 @ To this day they do after the former manner: they don't fear Yahweh, neither do they act after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which Yahweh commanded the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

updv@2Kings:17:35 @ with whom Yahweh had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, You(note:){+}(:note) will not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

updv@2Kings:17:36 @ but Yahweh, who brought you(note:){+}(:note) up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, him you{+} will fear, and to him you{+} will bow yourselves, and to him you{+} will sacrifice:

updv@2Kings:17:37 @ and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you(note:){+}(:note), you{+} will observe to do forevermore; and you{+} will not fear other gods:

updv@2Kings:17:38 @ and the covenant that I have made with you(note:){+}(:note) you{+} will not forget; neither will you{+} fear other gods:

updv@2Kings:17:39 @ but Yahweh your(note:){+}(:note) God you{+} will fear; and he will deliver you{+} out of the hand of all your{+} enemies.

updv@2Kings:17:40 @ Nevertheless they did not listen, but they did after their former manner.

updv@2Kings:17:41 @ So these nations feared Yahweh, and served their graven images; their sons likewise, and the sons of their sons, as did their fathers, so they do to this day.
