Chapter 17
In
the
twelfth
year
of
Ahaz
king
of
Judah
began
Hoshea
the
son
of
Elah
to
reign
in
Samaria
over
Israel
nine
years.
2
And
he
did
that
which
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
but
not
as
the
kings
of
Israel
that
were
before
him.
3
Against
him
came
up
Shalmaneser
king
of
Assyria;
and
Hoshea
became
his
servant,
and
gave
him
presents.
4
And
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.
5
Then
the
king
of
Assyria
came
up
throughout
all
the
land,
and
went
up
to
Samaria,
and
besieged
it
three
years.
6
In
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.
7
For
so
it
was,
that
the
children
of
Israel
had
sinned
against
the
Lord
their
God,
which
had
brought
them
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
from
under
the
hand
of
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
had
feared
other
gods,
8
And
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.
9
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
secretly
those
things
that
were
not
right
against
the
Lord
their
God,
and
they
built
them
high
places
in
all
their
cities,
from
the
tower
of
the
watchmen
to
the
fenced
city.
10
And
they
set
them
up
images
and
groves
in
every
high
hill,
and
under
every
green
tree:
11
And
there
they
burnt
incense
in
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:
12
For
they
served
idols,
whereof
the
Lord
had
said
unto
them,
Ye
shall
not
do
this
thing.
13
Yet
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.
14
Notwithstanding
they
would
not
hear,
but
hardened
their
necks,
like
to
the
neck
of
their
fathers,
that
did
not
believe
in
the
Lord
their
God.
15
And
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
round
about
them,
concerning
whom
the
Lord
had
charged
them,
that
they
should
not
do
like
them.
16
And
they
left
all
the
commandments
of
the
Lord
their
God,
and
made
them
molten
images,
even
two
calves,
and
made
a
grove,
and
worshipped
all
the
host
of
heaven,
and
served
Baal.
17
And
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.
18
Therefore
the
Lord
was
very
angry
with
Israel,
and
removed
them
out
of
his
sight:
there
was
none
left
but
the
tribe
of
Judah
only.
19
Also
Judah
kept
not
the
commandments
of
the
Lord
their
God,
but
walked
in
the
statutes
of
Israel
which
they
made.
20
And
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.
21
For
he
rent
Israel
from
the
house
of
David;
and
they
made
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat
king:
and
Jeroboam
drave
Israel
from
following
the
Lord,
and
made
them
sin
a
great
sin.
22
For
the
children
of
Israel
walked
in
all
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
which
he
did;
they
departed
not
from
them;
23
Until
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
unto
this
day.
24
And
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
the
cities
thereof.
25
And
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.
26
Wherefore
they
spake
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.
27
Then
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.
28
Then
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.
29
Howbeit
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
wherein
they
dwelt.
30
And
the
men
of
Babylon
made
Succoth-benoth,
and
the
men
of
Cuth
made
Nergal,
and
the
men
of
Hamath
made
Ashima,
31
And
the
Avites
made
Nibhaz
and
Tartak,
and
the
Sepharvites
burnt
their
children
in
fire
to
Adrammelech
and
Anammelech,
the
gods
of
Sepharvaim.
32
So
they
feared
the
Lord,
and
made
unto
themselves
of
the
lowest
of
them
priests
of
the
high
places,
which
sacrificed
for
them
in
the
houses
of
the
high
places.
33
They
feared
the
Lord,
and
served
their
own
gods,
after
the
manner
of
the
nations
whom
they
carried
away
from
thence.
34
Unto
this
day
they
do
after
the
former
manners:
they
fear
not
the
Lord,
neither
do
they
after
their
statutes,
or
after
their
ordinances,
or
after
the
law
and
commandment
which
the
Lord
commanded
the
children
of
Jacob,
whom
he
named
Israel;
35
With
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:
36
But
the
Lord,
who
brought
you
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
with
great
power
and
a
stretched
out
arm,
him
shall
ye
fear,
and
him
shall
ye
worship,
and
to
him
shall
ye
do
sacrifice.
37
And
the
statutes,
and
the
ordinances,
and
the
law,
and
the
commandment,
which
he
wrote
for
you,
ye
shall
observe
to
do
for
evermore;
and
ye
shall
not
fear
other
gods.
38
And
the
covenant
that
I
have
made
with
you
ye
shall
not
forget;
neither
shall
ye
fear
other
gods.
39
But
the
Lord
your
God
ye
shall
fear;
and
he
shall
deliver
you
out
of
the
hand
of
all
your
enemies.
40
Howbeit
they
did
not
hearken,
but
they
did
after
their
former
manner.
41
So
these
nations
feared
the
Lord,
and
served
their
graven
images,
both
their
children,
and
their
children’s
children:
as
did
their
fathers,
so
do
they
unto
this
day.
