*
Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon ,
Cuthah ,
Ava ,
Hamath ,
and from Sepharvaim ,
and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel ;
and they took possession of Samaria and dwelt in its cities .
*
And it was so ,
at the beginning of their dwelling there ,
that they did not fear the LORD ;
therefore the LORD sent lions among them ,
which killed some of them .
*
So they spoke to the king of Assyria ,
saying , "
The nations whom you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the rituals of the God of the land ;
therefore He has sent lions among them ,
and indeed ,
they are killing them because they do not know the rituals of the God of the land ."
*
Then the king of Assyria commanded ,
saying , "
Send there one of the priests whom you brought from there ;
let him go and dwell there ,
and let him teach them the rituals of the God of the land ."
