Chapter 17
In
the
twelfth
yeere
of
Ahaz,
king
of
Iudah,
began
Hoshea
the
sonne
of
Elah
to
reigne
in
Samaria,
ouer
Israel
nine
yeeres.
2
And
hee
did
that
which
was
euill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
but
not
as
the
kings
of
Israel
that
were
before
him.
3
Against
him
came
vp
Shalmaneser
king
of
Assyria,
and
Hoshea
became
his
seruant,
and
gaue
him
presents.
4
An
the
king
of
Assyria
found
conspiracie
in
Hoshea:
for
hee
had
sent
messengers
to
So
king
of
Egypt,
and
brought
no
present
to
the
king
of
Assyria,
as
he
had
done
yeere
by
yeere:
therefore
the
king
of
Assyria
shut
him
vp,
and
bound
him
in
prison.
5
Then
the
king
of
Assyria
came
vp
thorowout
all
the
land,
and
went
vp
to
Samaria,
and
besieged
it
three
yeres.
6
In
the
ninth
yeere
of
Hoshea,
the
king
of
Assyria
tooke
Samaria,
and
caried
Israel
away
into
Assyria,
and
placed
them
in
Halah,
and
in
Habor
by
the
riuer
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
vp
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
from
vnder
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
vp
images,
and
groues
in
euery
high
hill,
and
vnder
euery
greene
tree.
11
And
there
they
burnt
incense
in
all
the
high
places,
as
did
the
heathen
whom
the
Lord
caried
away
before
them,
and
wrought
wicked
things
to
prouoke
the
Lord
to
anger.
12
For
they
serued
idoles,
whereof
the
Lord
had
said
vnto
them,
Yee
shall
not
doe
this
thing.
13
Yet
the
Lord
testified
against
Israel,
and
against
Iudah,
by
all
the
Prophets,
and
by
all
the
Seers,
saying,
Turne
ye
from
your
euill
wayes,
and
keepe
my
commandements,
and
my
statutes,
according
to
all
the
law
which
I
commanded
your
fathers,
and
which
I
sent
to
you
by
my
seruants
the
Prophets.
14
Notwithstanding,
they
would
not
heare,
but
hardened
their
neckes,
like
to
the
necke
of
their
fathers,
that
did
not
beleeue
in
the
Lord
their
God.
15
And
they
reiected
his
Statutes,
and
his
Couenant
that
hee
made
with
their
fathers,
and
his
Testimonies
which
he
testified
against
them,
and
they
followed
vanitie,
and
became
vaine,
and
went
after
the
heathen
that
were
round
about
them,
concerning
whom
the
Lord
had
charged
them,
that
they
should
not
doe
like
them.
16
And
they
left
all
the
Commandements
of
the
Lord
their
God,
and
made
them
molten
images,
euen
two
calues,
and
made
a
groue,
and
worshipped
all
the
hoste
of
heauen,
and
serued
Baal.
17
And
they
caused
their
sonnes
and
their
daughters
to
passe
through
the
fire,
and
vsed
diuination,
and
inchantments,
and
sold
themselues
to
doe
euill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
to
prouoke
him
to
anger.
18
Therefore
the
Lord
was
very
angry
with
Israel,
and
remoued
them
out
of
his
sight,
there
was
none
left,
but
the
tribe
of
Iudah
onely.
19
Also
Iudah
kept
not
the
Commandements
of
the
Lord
their
God,
but
walked
in
the
Statutes
of
Israel
which
they
made.
20
And
the
Lord
reiected
all
the
seed
of
Israel,
and
afflicted
them,
and
deliuered
them
into
the
hand
of
spoilers,
vntill
he
had
cast
them
out
of
his
sight.
21
For
he
rent
Israel
from
the
house
of
Dauid,
and
they
made
Ieroboam
the
sonne
of
Nebat
king,
and
Ieroboam
draue
Israel
from
following
the
Lord,
and
made
them
sinne
a
great
sinne.
22
For
the
children
of
Israel
walked
in
al
the
sinnes
of
Ieroboam
which
he
did,
they
departed
not
from
them:
23
Untill
the
Lord
remoued
Israel
out
of
his
sight,
as
hee
had
said
by
all
his
seruants
the
Prophets:
so
was
Israel
caried
away
out
of
their
owne
land
to
Assyria,
vnto
this
day.
24
And
the
King
of
Assyria
brought
men
from
Babylon,
and
from
Cuthah,
and
from
Aua,
and
from
Hamath,
and
from
Sepharuaim,
and
placed
them
in
the
cities
of
Samaria,
in
stead
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
remoued,
and
placed
in
the
cities
of
Samaria,
know
not
the
maner
of
the
God
of
the
land:
therfore
he
hath
sent
Lions
among
them,
and
beholde,
they
slay
them,
because
they
know
not
the
maner
of
the
God
of
the
land.
27
Then
the
king
of
Assyria
commanded,
saying,
Carie
thither
one
of
the
priests
whom
ye
brought
from
thence,
and
let
them
goe
and
dwell
there,
and
let
him
teach
them
the
maner
of
the
God
of
the
land.
28
Then
one
of
the
priests
whom
they
had
caried
away
from
Samaria,
came
and
dwelt
in
Bethel,
and
taught
them
howe
they
should
feare
the
Lord.
29
Howbeit,
euery
nation
made
gods
of
their
owne,
and
put
them
in
the
houses
of
the
high
places
which
the
Samaritanes
had
made,
euery
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
Auites
made
Nibhaz
and
Tartak;
and
the
Sepharuites
burnt
their
children
in
fire
to
Adrammelech,
and
Anammelech,
the
gods
of
Sepharuaim.
32
So
they
feared
the
Lord,
and
made
vnto
themselues
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
serued
their
owne
gods,
after
the
maner
of
the
nations
whom
they
caried
away
from
thence.
34
Unto
this
day
they
doe
after
the
former
maners:
they
feare
not
the
Lord,
neither
doe
they
after
their
Statutes,
or
after
their
Ordinances,
or
after
the
Law
and
Commaundement
which
the
Lord
commaunded
the
children
of
Iacob,
whom
hee
named
Israel,
35
With
whom
the
Lord
had
made
a
Couenant,
and
charged
them,
saying,
Yee
shall
not
feare
other
gods,
nor
bow
your
selues
to
them,
nor
serue
them,
nor
sacrifice
to
them:
36
But
the
Lord,
who
brought
you
vp
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
with
great
power,
and
a
stretched
out
arme,
him
shall
ye
feare,
and
him
shall
ye
worship,
and
to
him
shall
ye
doe
sacrifice.
37
And
the
Statutes,
and
the
Ordinances,
and
the
Law,
and
the
Commandement
which
he
wrote
for
you,
ye
shall
obserue
to
doe
for
euermore,
and
ye
shall
not
feare
other
gods:
38
And
the
Couenant
that
I
haue
made
with
you,
ye
shall
no
forget,
neither
shall
ye
feare
other
gods.
39
But
the
Lord
your
God
yee
shall
feare,
and
he
shall
deliuer
you
out
of
the
hand
of
all
your
enemies.
40
Howbeit,
they
did
not
hearken,
but
they
did
after
their
former
maner.
41
So
these
nations
feared
the
Lord,
and
serued
their
grauen
images,
both
their
children,
and
their
childrens
children:
as
did
their
fathers,
so
doe
they
vnto
this
day.
