[1]In the twelfthH8147[H6240] yearH8141 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 to reignH4427[H8804] in SamariaH8111 over IsraelH3478 nineH8672 yearsH8141. [No book]
[2]And he didH6213[H8799] that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not as the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were before himH6440. [No book]
[3]Against him came upH5927[H8804] ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and HosheaH1954 became his servantH5650, and gaveH7725[H8686] him presentsH4503. [No book]
[4]And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 foundH4672[H8799] conspiracyH7195 in HosheaH1954: for he had sentH7971[H8804] messengersH4397 to SoH5471 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH5927[H8689] no presentH4503 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, as he had done yearH8141 by yearH8141: therefore the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 shut him upH6113[H8799], and boundH631[H8799] him in prisonH1004.[H3608] [No book]
[5]Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927[H8799] throughout all the landH776, and went upH5927[H8799] to SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696[H8799] it threeH7969 yearsH8141. [No book]
[6]In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920[H8804] SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540[H8686] into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427[H8686] them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074. [No book]
[7]For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398[H8804] against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927[H8688] out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372[H8799] otherH312 godsH430, [No book]
[8]And walkedH3212[H8799] in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423[H8689] from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.[H8804] [No book]
[9]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644[H8762] those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129[H8799] them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341[H8802] to the fencedH4013 cityH5892. [No book]
[10]And they set them upH5324[H8686] imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: [No book]
[11]And there they burnt incenseH6999[H8762] in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540[H8689] beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213[H8799] wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:[H8687] [No book]
[12]For they servedH5647[H8799] idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559[H8804] unto them, Ye shall not doH6213[H8799] this thingH1697. [No book]
[13]Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749[H8686] against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559[H8800], TurnH7725[H8798] ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104[H8798] my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680[H8765] your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971[H8804] to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. [No book]
[14]Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085[H8804], but hardenedH7185[H8686] their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539[H8689] in the LORDH3068 their GodH430. [No book]
[15]And they rejectedH3988[H8799] his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772[H8804] with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749[H8689] against them; and they followedH3212[H8799][H310] vanityH1892, and became vainH1891[H8799], and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680[H8765] them, that they should not doH6213 like themH8800. [No book]
[16]And they leftH5800[H8799] all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213[H8799] them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213[H8799] a groveH842, and worshippedH7812[H8691] all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647[H8799] BaalH1168. [No book]
[17]And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674[H8686] through the fireH784, and usedH7080[H8799] divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172[H8762], and soldH4376[H8691] themselves to doH6213[H8800] evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.[H8687] [No book]
[18]Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599[H8691] with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493[H8686] them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604[H8738] but the tribeH7626 of Judah onlyH3063. [No book]
[19]Also JudahH3063 keptH8104[H8804] not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212[H8799] in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.[H8804] [No book]
[20]And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988[H8799] all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031[H8762] them, and deliveredH5414[H8799] them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154[H8802], until he had castH7993[H8689] them out of his sightH6440. [No book]
[21]For he rentH7167[H8804] IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732; and they made JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427[H8686]: and JeroboamH3379 draveH5080[H8686][H8675][H5077][H8686] IsraelH3478 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, and made them sinH2398[H8689] a greatH1419 sinH2401. [No book]
[22]For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH3212[H8799] in all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he didH6213[H8804]; they departedH5493 not from themH8804; [No book]
[23]Until the LORDH3068 removedH5493[H8689] IsraelH3478 out of his sightH6440, as he had saidH1696[H8765] byH3027 all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So was IsraelH3478 carried awayH1540[H8799] out of their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117. [No book]
[24]And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 broughtH935[H8686] men from BabylonH894, and from CuthahH3575, and from AvaH5755, and from HamathH2574, and from SepharvaimH5617, and placedH3427[H8686] them in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 instead of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and they possessedH3423[H8799] SamariaH8111, and dweltH3427[H8799] in the cities thereofH5892. [No book]
[25]And so it was at the beginningH8462 of their dwellingH3427[H8800] there, that they fearedH3372[H8804] not the LORDH3068: therefore the LORDH3068 sentH7971[H8762] lionsH738 among them, which slewH2026 some of themH8802. [No book]
[26]Wherefore they spakeH559[H8799] to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559[H8800], The nationsH1471 which thou hast removedH1540[H8689], and placedH3427[H8686] in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, knowH3045[H8804] not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776: therefore he hath sentH7971[H8762] lionsH738 among them, and, behold, they slayH4191[H8688] them, because they knowH3045[H8802] not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776. [No book]
[27]Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 commandedH6680[H8762], sayingH559[H8800], CarryH3212[H8685] thither oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom ye broughtH1540[H8689] from thence; and let them goH3212[H8799] and dwellH3427[H8799] there, and let him teachH3384[H8686] them the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776. [No book]
[28]Then oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom they had carried awayH1540[H8689] from SamariaH8111 cameH935[H8799] and dweltH3427[H8799] in BethelH1008, and taughtH3384[H8688] them how they should fearH3372[H8799] the LORDH3068. [No book]
[29]Howbeit every nationH1471 madeH6213[H8802] godsH430 of their own, and putH3240[H8686] them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116 which the SamaritansH8118 had madeH6213[H8804], every nationH1471 in their citiesH5892 wherein they dweltH3427.[H8802] [No book]
[30]And the menH582 of BabylonH894 madeH6213[H8804] SuccothbenothH5524, and the menH582 of CuthH3575 madeH6213[H8804] NergalH5370, and the menH582 of HamathH2574 madeH6213[H8804] AshimaH807, [No book]
[31]And the AvitesH5757 madeH6213[H8804] NibhazH5026 and TartakH8662, and the SepharvitesH5616 burntH8313[H8802] their childrenH1121 in fireH784 to AdrammelechH152 and AnammelechH6048, the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617. [No book]
[32]So they fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and madeH6213[H8799] unto themselves of the lowestH7098 of them priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116, which sacrificedH6213[H8802] for them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116. [No book]
[33]They fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647[H8802] their own godsH430, after the mannerH4941 of the nationsH1471 whom they carried awayH1540 from thenceH8689. [No book]
[34]Unto this dayH3117 they doH6213[H8802] after the formerH7223 mannersH4941: they fearH3373 not the LORDH3068, neither doH6213[H8802] they after their statutesH2708, or after their ordinancesH4941, or after the lawH8451 and commandmentH4687 which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680[H8765] the childrenH1121 of JacobH3290, whom he namedH7760[H8804][H8034] IsraelH3478; [No book]
[35]With whom the LORDH3068 had madeH3772[H8799] a covenantH1285, and chargedH6680[H8762] them, sayingH559[H8800], Ye shall not fearH3372[H8799] otherH312 godsH430, nor bowH7812[H8691] yourselves to them, nor serveH5647[H8799] them, nor sacrificeH2076 to themH8799: [No book]
[36]But the LORDH3068, who brought you upH5927[H8689] out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581 and a stretched outH5186[H8803] armH2220, him shall ye fearH3372[H8799], and him shall ye worshipH7812[H8691], and to him shall ye do sacrificeH2076.[H8799] [No book]
[37]And the statutesH2706, and the ordinancesH4941, and the lawH8451, and the commandmentH4687, which he wroteH3789[H8804] for you, ye shall observeH8104[H8799] to doH6213[H8800] for evermoreH3117; and ye shall not fearH3372[H8799] otherH312 godsH430. [No book]
[38]And the covenantH1285 that I have madeH3772[H8804] with you ye shall not forgetH7911[H8799]; neither shall ye fearH3372[H8799] otherH312 godsH430. [No book]
[39]But the LORDH3068 your GodH430 ye shall fearH3372[H8799]; and he shall deliverH5337[H8686] you out of the handH3027 of all your enemiesH341.[H8802] [No book]
[40]Howbeit they did not hearkenH8085[H8804], but they didH6213[H8802] after their formerH7223 mannerH4941. [No book]
[41]So these nationsH1471 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647[H8802] their graven imagesH6456, both their childrenH1121, and their children'sH1121 childrenH1121: as didH6213[H8804] their fathersH1, so doH6213[H8802] they unto this dayH3117. [No book]
