So the king of Assyria gave this order, 'Send back one of the priests whom I deported from there; let him go and live there and teach them how to worship the local god.' (2 Kings 17, 27)
Accordingly, one of the priests who had been deported from Samaria came to live in Bethel; he taught them how to worship Yahweh. (2 Kings 17, 28)
They worshipped Yahweh as well, and they appointed priests out of their own number for the high places, and these officiated in the shrines on the high places. (2 Kings 17, 32)
They worshipped Yahweh and served their own gods at the same time, with the rites of the countries from which they had been deported. (2 Kings 17, 33)
They still follow their old rites even now. They did not worship Yahweh and did not conform to his statutes or ritual, or the law or the commandments, which Yahweh had laid down for the sons of Jacob to whom he gave the name Israel. (2 Kings 17, 34)
Yahweh had made a covenant with them and had given them this command, 'You are not to worship alien gods, you are not to bow down to them or serve them or offer them sacrifices. (2 Kings 17, 35)
You are to observe the statutes and ritual, the law and the commandments which he has given you in writing and to which you are always to conform; you are not to worship alien gods. (2 Kings 17, 37)
Do not forget the covenant which I have made with you, and do not venerate alien gods. (2 Kings 17, 38)
These nationalities, then, worshipped Yahweh and served their idols as well, as did their children; and their children's children still behave today as their ancestors behaved in the past. (2 Kings 17, 41)
He was twenty-five years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah. (2 Kings 18, 2)
He did what Yahweh regards as right, just as his ancestor David had done. (2 Kings 18, 3)
He abolished the high places, broke the pillars, cut down the sacred poles and smashed the bronze serpent which Moses had made; for up to that time the Israelites had offered sacrifices to it; it was called Nehushtan. (2 Kings 18, 4)
