KJV 2KIN17 with Strong's Hebrew/Greek

17:1 In the twelfth [H8147] [H6240] year [H8141] of Ahaz [H271] king [H4428] of Judah [H3063] began Hoshea [H1954] the son [H1121] of Elah [H425] to reign [H4427] in Samaria [H8111] over Israel [H3478] nine [H8672] years [H8141] .

17:2 And he did [H6213] [that which was] evil [H7451] in the sight [H5869] of the LORD [H3068] , but not as the kings [H4428] of Israel [H3478] that were before [H6440] him.

17:3 Against him came up [H5927] Shalmaneser [H8022] king [H4428] of Assyria [H804] ; and Hoshea [H1954] became his servant [H5650] , and gave [H7725] him presents [H4503] .(gave: Heb. rendered)(presents: or, tribute)

17:4 And the king [H4428] of Assyria [H804] found [H4672] conspiracy [H7195] in Hoshea [H1954] : for he had sent [H7971] messengers [H4397] to So [H5471] king [H4428] of Egypt [H4714] , and brought [H5927] no present [H4503] to the king [H4428] of Assyria [H804] , as [he had done] year [H8141] by year [H8141] : therefore the king [H4428] of Assyria [H804] shut him up [H6113] , and bound [H631] him in prison [H1004] [H3608] .(present: or, tribute)

17:5 Then the king [H4428] of Assyria [H804] came up [H5927] throughout all the land [H776] , and went up [H5927] to Samaria [H8111] , and besieged [H6696] it three [H7969] years [H8141] .

17:6 In the ninth [H8671] year [H8141] of Hoshea [H1954] the king [H4428] of Assyria [H804] took [H3920] Samaria [H8111] , and carried [H1540] Israel [H3478] away [H1540] into Assyria [H804] , and placed [H3427] them in Halah [H2477] and in Habor [H2249] [by] the river [H5104] of Gozan [H1470] , and in the cities [H5892] of the Medes [H4074] .

17:7 For [so] it was, that the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] had sinned [H2398] against the LORD [H3068] their God [H430] , which had brought them up [H5927] out of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] , from under the hand [H3027] of Pharaoh [H6547] king [H4428] of Egypt [H4714] , and had feared [H3372] other [H312] gods [H430] ,

17:8 And walked [H3212] in the statutes [H2708] of the heathen [H1471] , whom the LORD [H3068] cast out [H3423] from before [H6440] the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] , and of the kings [H4428] of Israel [H3478] , which they had made [H6213] .

17:9 And the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] did secretly [H2644] [those] things [H1697] that [were] not right against the LORD [H3068] their God [H430] , and they built [H1129] them high places [H1116] in all their cities [H5892] , from the tower [H4026] of the watchmen [H5341] to the fenced [H4013] city [H5892] .

17:10 And they set them up [H5324] images [H4676] and groves [H842] in every high [H1364] hill [H1389] , and under every green [H7488] tree [H6086] :(images: Heb. statues)

17:11 And there they burnt incense [H6999] in all the high places [H1116] , as [did] the heathen [H1471] whom the LORD [H3068] carried away [H1540] before [H6440] them; and wrought [H6213] wicked [H7451] things [H1697] to provoke the LORD [H3068] to anger [H3707] :

17:12 For they served [H5647] idols [H1544] , whereof the LORD [H3068] had said [H559] unto them, Ye shall not do [H6213] this thing [H1697] .

17:13 Yet the LORD [H3068] testified [H5749] against Israel [H3478] , and against Judah [H3063] , by [H3027] all the prophets [H5030] , [and by] all the seers [H2374] , saying [H559] , Turn [H7725] ye from your evil [H7451] ways [H1870] , and keep [H8104] my commandments [H4687] [and] my statutes [H2708] , according to all the law [H8451] which I commanded [H6680] your fathers [H1] , and which I sent [H7971] to you by [H3027] my servants [H5650] the prophets [H5030] .(by: Heb. by the hand of)

17:14 Notwithstanding they would not hear [H8085] , but hardened [H7185] their necks [H6203] , like to the neck [H6203] of their fathers [H1] , that did not believe [H539] in the LORD [H3068] their God [H430] .

17:15 And they rejected [H3988] his statutes [H2706] , and his covenant [H1285] that he made [H3772] with their fathers [H1] , and his testimonies [H5715] which he testified [H5749] against them; and they followed [H3212] [H310] vanity [H1892] , and became vain [H1891] , and went after [H310] the heathen [H1471] that [were] round about [H5439] them, [concerning] whom the LORD [H3068] had charged [H6680] them, that they should not do [H6213] like them.

17:16 And they left [H5800] all the commandments [H4687] of the LORD [H3068] their God [H430] , and made [H6213] them molten images [H4541] , [even] two [H8147] calves [H5695] , and made [H6213] a grove [H842] , and worshipped [H7812] all the host [H6635] of heaven [H8064] , and served [H5647] Baal [H1168] .

17:17 And they caused their sons [H1121] and their daughters [H1323] to pass [H5674] through the fire [H784] , and used [H7080] divination [H7081] and enchantments [H5172] , and sold [H4376] themselves to do [H6213] evil [H7451] in the sight [H5869] of the LORD [H3068] , to provoke him to anger [H3707] .

17:18 Therefore the LORD [H3068] was very [H3966] angry [H599] with Israel [H3478] , and removed [H5493] them out of his sight [H6440] : there was none left [H7604] but the tribe [H7626] of Judah [H3063] only.

17:19 Also Judah [H3063] kept [H8104] not the commandments [H4687] of the LORD [H3068] their God [H430] , but walked [H3212] in the statutes [H2708] of Israel [H3478] which they made [H6213] .

17:20 And the LORD [H3068] rejected [H3988] all the seed [H2233] of Israel [H3478] , and afflicted [H6031] them, and delivered [H5414] them into the hand [H3027] of spoilers [H8154] , until he had cast [H7993] them out of his sight [H6440] .

17:21 For he rent [H7167] Israel [H3478] from the house [H1004] of David [H1732] ; and they made Jeroboam [H3379] the son [H1121] of Nebat [H5028] king [H4427] : and Jeroboam [H3379] drave [H5080] [H5077] Israel [H3478] from following [H310] the LORD [H3068] , and made them sin [H2398] a great [H1419] sin [H2401] .

17:22 For the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] walked [H3212] in all the sins [H2403] of Jeroboam [H3379] which he did [H6213] ; they departed [H5493] not from them;

17:23 Until the LORD [H3068] removed [H5493] Israel [H3478] out of his sight [H6440] , as he had said [H1696] by [H3027] all his servants [H5650] the prophets [H5030] . So was Israel [H3478] carried away [H1540] out of their own land [H127] to Assyria [H804] unto this day [H3117] .

17:24 And the king [H4428] of Assyria [H804] brought [H935] [men] from Babylon [H894] , and from Cuthah [H3575] , and from Ava [H5755] , and from Hamath [H2574] , and from Sepharvaim [H5617] , and placed [H3427] [them] in the cities [H5892] of Samaria [H8111] instead of the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] : and they possessed [H3423] Samaria [H8111] , and dwelt [H3427] in the cities [H5892] thereof.

17:25 And [so] it was at the beginning [H8462] of their dwelling [H3427] there, [that] they feared [H3372] not the LORD [H3068] : therefore the LORD [H3068] sent [H7971] lions [H738] among them, which slew [H2026] [some] of them.

17:26 Wherefore they spake [H559] to the king [H4428] of Assyria [H804] , saying [H559] , The nations [H1471] which thou hast removed [H1540] , and placed [H3427] in the cities [H5892] of Samaria [H8111] , know [H3045] not the manner [H4941] of the God [H430] of the land [H776] : therefore he hath sent [H7971] lions [H738] among them, and, behold, they slay [H4191] them, because they know [H3045] not the manner [H4941] of the God [H430] of the land [H776] .

17:27 Then the king [H4428] of Assyria [H804] commanded [H6680] , saying [H559] , Carry [H3212] thither one [H259] of the priests [H3548] whom ye brought [H1540] from thence; and let them go [H3212] and dwell [H3427] there, and let him teach [H3384] them the manner [H4941] of the God [H430] of the land [H776] .

17:28 Then one [H259] of the priests [H3548] whom they had carried away [H1540] from Samaria [H8111] came [H935] and dwelt [H3427] in Bethel [H1008] , and taught [H3384] them how they should fear [H3372] the LORD [H3068] .

17:29 Howbeit every nation [H1471] made [H6213] gods [H430] of their own, and put [H3240] [them] in the houses [H1004] of the high places [H1116] which the Samaritans [H8118] had made [H6213] , every nation [H1471] in their cities [H5892] wherein they dwelt [H3427] .

17:30 And the men [H582] of Babylon [H894] made [H6213] Succothbenoth [H5524] , and the men [H582] of Cuth [H3575] made [H6213] Nergal [H5370] , and the men [H582] of Hamath [H2574] made [H6213] Ashima [H807] ,

17:31 And the Avites [H5757] made [H6213] Nibhaz [H5026] and Tartak [H8662] , and the Sepharvites [H5616] burnt [H8313] their children [H1121] in fire [H784] to Adrammelech [H152] and Anammelech [H6048] , the gods [H430] of Sepharvaim [H5617] .

17:32 So they feared [H3373] the LORD [H3068] , and made [H6213] unto themselves of the lowest [H7098] of them priests [H3548] of the high places [H1116] , which sacrificed [H6213] for them in the houses [H1004] of the high places [H1116] .

17:33 They feared [H3373] the LORD [H3068] , and served [H5647] their own gods [H430] , after the manner [H4941] of the nations [H1471] whom they carried away [H1540] from thence.(whom: or, who carried them away from thence)

17:34 Unto this day [H3117] they do [H6213] after the former [H7223] manners [H4941] : they fear [H3373] not the LORD [H3068] , neither do [H6213] they after their statutes [H2708] , or after their ordinances [H4941] , or after the law [H8451] and commandment [H4687] which the LORD [H3068] commanded [H6680] the children [H1121] of Jacob [H3290] , whom he named [H7760] [H8034] Israel [H3478] ;

17:35 With whom the LORD [H3068] had made [H3772] a covenant [H1285] , and charged [H6680] them, saying [H559] , Ye shall not fear [H3372] other [H312] gods [H430] , nor bow [H7812] yourselves to them, nor serve [H5647] them, nor sacrifice [H2076] to them:

17:36 But the LORD [H3068] , who brought you up [H5927] out of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] with great [H1419] power [H3581] and a stretched out [H5186] arm [H2220] , him shall ye fear [H3372] , and him shall ye worship [H7812] , and to him shall ye do sacrifice [H2076] .

17:37 And the statutes [H2706] , and the ordinances [H4941] , and the law [H8451] , and the commandment [H4687] , which he wrote [H3789] for you, ye shall observe [H8104] to do [H6213] for evermore [H3117] ; and ye shall not fear [H3372] other [H312] gods [H430] .

17:38 And the covenant [H1285] that I have made [H3772] with you ye shall not forget [H7911] ; neither shall ye fear [H3372] other [H312] gods [H430] .

17:39 But the LORD [H3068] your God [H430] ye shall fear [H3372] ; and he shall deliver [H5337] you out of the hand [H3027] of all your enemies [H341] .

17:40 Howbeit they did not hearken [H8085] , but they did [H6213] after their former [H7223] manner [H4941] .

17:41 So these nations [H1471] feared [H3373] the LORD [H3068] , and served [H5647] their graven images [H6456] , both their children [H1121] , and their children's [H1121] children [H1121] : as did [H6213] their fathers [H1] , so do [H6213] they unto this day [H3117] .
