*
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 ."
*
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Sama '
ria came and dwelt in Bethel ,
and taught them how they should fear the LORD .
*
But every nation still made gods of its own ,
and put them in the shrines of the high places which the Samaritans had made ,
every nation in the cities in which they dwelt ;
*
the men of Babylon made Suc '
coth-be '
noth ,
the men of Cuth made Nergal ,
the men of Hamath made Ashi '
ma ,
*
and the Av '
vites made Nibhaz and Tartak ;
and the Sephar '
vites burned their children in the fire to Adram '
melech and Anam '
melech ,
the gods of Sephar-va '
im .
*
They also feared the LORD ,
and appointed from among themselves all sorts of people as priests of the high places ,
who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places .
*
So they feared the LORD but also served their own gods ,
after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away .
