II Kings 17

4And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as [he had done] year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

2 Kings 24:1, 2 Kings 18:21, 2 Chronicles 32:11, 2 Kings 18:14, 2 Kings 18:15

5Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

Hosea 13:16, Hosea 13:16, 2 Kings 18:9, 2 Kings 25:1, 2 Kings 25:3

6In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

1 Chronicles 5:26, Deuteronomy 28:64, Hosea 13:16, 1 Chronicles 5:26, Deuteronomy 28:64

7For [so] it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

Joshua 23:16, Joshua 23:16, Judges 2:14, Judges 2:17, Nehemiah 9:26

8And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel which they had made.

Deuteronomy 18:9, Leviticus 18:3, 2 Kings 16:3, Deuteronomy 18:9, Leviticus 18:3

9And the children of Israel did secretly things that [were] not right against the LORD their God, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.

2 Kings 18:8, 2 Kings 18:8, Deuteronomy 27:15, Ezekiel 8:12, Job 31:27

10And they set up for themselves images and groves on every high hill, and under every green tree:

1 Kings 14:23, 1 Kings 14:23, Micah 5:14, Micah 5:14, Exodus 34:13

11And there they burnt incense on all the high places, as [did] the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

1 Kings 13:1, Jeremiah 44:17, 2 Chronicles 28:25, Psalms 78:56, Psalms 78:58

12For they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.

Deuteronomy 5:7, Deuteronomy 5:9, Leviticus 26:1, Deuteronomy 4:23, Deuteronomy 4:25

13Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, [and by] all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments [and] my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

Jeremiah 35:15, 1 Samuel 9:9, Jeremiah 35:15, 1 Samuel 9:9, Jeremiah 18:11

14Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

Acts 7:51, Deuteronomy 31:27, Acts 7:51, Deuteronomy 31:27, Exodus 32:9

15And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] around them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

Deuteronomy 12:30, Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 12:30, Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 32:21

16And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made for themselves molten images, [even] two calves, and made a grove, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

1 Kings 16:31, 1 Kings 12:28, 1 Kings 14:23, 1 Kings 14:15, 1 Kings 16:31

17And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

2 Kings 21:6, 2 Kings 21:6, Deuteronomy 18:10, Deuteronomy 18:12, 2 Kings 16:3

18Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

1 Kings 11:32, 1 Kings 11:13, 1 Kings 11:32, 1 Kings 11:13, Hosea 11:12

19Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

2 Kings 16:3, 1 Kings 14:22, 1 Kings 14:23, 2 Kings 16:3, 1 Kings 14:22

20And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

2 Kings 15:29, 2 Kings 15:29, Jeremiah 6:30, 2 Kings 13:3, Jeremiah 6:30

21For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.

1 Kings 11:11, 1 Kings 11:11, 1 Kings 11:31, 1 Kings 11:31, 1 Kings 12:28

22For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

2 Kings 13:2, 2 Kings 10:29, 2 Kings 13:6, 2 Kings 15:9, 2 Kings 3:3

23Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.

2 Kings 17:6, 2 Kings 17:6, 2 Kings 17:13, 2 Kings 17:13, 1 Kings 14:16

24And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed [them] in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.

2 Kings 18:34, 2 Kings 18:34, 2 Kings 17:30, 2 Kings 17:31, 2 Kings 19:13

25And [so] it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, [that] they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew [some] of them.

2 Kings 17:41, 2 Kings 17:34, 2 Kings 17:32, 2 Kings 17:41, 2 Kings 17:34

26Wherefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

2 Kings 17:27, Amos 8:14, 1 Samuel 8:9, 1 Samuel 10:25, 2 Kings 17:27

27Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

Judges 17:13, 2 Chronicles 11:15, 1 Kings 13:2, 1 Kings 12:31, Judges 17:13

28Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

1 Kings 12:29, 1 Kings 12:32, 1 Kings 12:29, 1 Kings 12:32, Isaiah 29:13

29Yet, 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.

Micah 4:5, 1 Kings 12:31, Micah 4:5, 1 Kings 12:31, Hosea 8:5

30And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

2 Kings 17:24, 2 Kings 17:24

31And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

2 Kings 17:24, 2 Kings 17:24, 2 Kings 17:17, 2 Kings 17:17, 2 Kings 19:37

32So they feared the LORD, and made to themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

1 Kings 12:31, 1 Kings 12:31, 2 Kings 17:29, 2 Kings 17:29, Zephaniah 1:5

Luke 16:13, 2 Kings 17:41, Luke 16:13, 2 Kings 17:41, Matthew 6:24

Genesis 35:10, Genesis 32:28, Genesis 35:10, Genesis 32:28, 2 Kings 17:27

35With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

Judges 6:10, Judges 6:10, Joshua 23:16, Joshua 23:7, Deuteronomy 4:23

36But the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an out-stretched arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

Exodus 6:6, Exodus 6:6, Deuteronomy 6:13, Deuteronomy 6:13, Exodus 9:15
