*
And the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon ,
Cuthah ,
Avva ,
Hamath ,
and Sephar-va '
im ,
and placed them in the cities of Sama '
ria instead of the people of Israel ;
and they took possession of Sama '
ria ,
and dwelt in its cities .
*
And at the beginning of their dwelling there ,
they did not fear the LORD ;
therefore the LORD sent lions among them ,
which killed some of them .
*
So the king of Assyria was told , "
The nations which you have carried away and placed in the cities of Sama '
ria do not know the law of the god of the land ;
therefore he has sent lions among them ,
and behold ,
they are killing them ,
because they do not know the law of the god of the land ."
*
Then the king of Assyria commanded , "
Send there one of the priests whom you carried away thence ;
and let him go and dwell there ,
and teach them the law of the god of the land ."
