Berean Standard Bible
In the twelfth year of Ahaz
king
of Judah reigned
hath
Hoshea son of Elah in Samaria ,
over
Israel
--
nine years ,
In the twelfth year of the
reign
of Ahaz
over
Judah ,
Hoshea son of Elah became
king
of
Israel,
and
he
reigned
in Samaria nine years .
and he doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
only
, not as
the kings of Israel who were
before
him ;
And he did
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
, but
not like
the kings of Israel who preceded
him .
against
him
came
up
Shalmaneser king of Asshur
, and Hoshea is
to
him
a
servant,
and doth
render
to
him a
present
.
Shalmaneser king of Assyria
attacked
him
, and Hoshea became
his
vassal
and paid
him tribute
.
And
the king of Asshur
findeth
in
Hoshea
a
conspiracy,
in
that he
hath
sent
messengers
unto
So
king of Egypt, and hath
not caused
a
present
to
go
up
to the king of Asshur,
as year
by
year,
and
the king of Asshur
restraineth
him,
and bindeth
him in a
house
of
restraint
.
But
the king of Assyria
discovered
that Hoshea
had
conspired
to
send
envoys
to
King So
of Egypt, and that
he
had
not paid
tribute
to the king of Assyria
as in
previous
years.
Therefore
the king of Assyria
arrested
Hoshea
and put
him in prison
.
And
the king of Asshur
goeth
up
into
all
the land, and
he
goeth
up to Samaria, and layeth
siege
against
it three years ;
Then
the king of Assyria
invaded
the whole
land, marched
up to Samaria, and besieged
it for
three years .
in the ninth year of Hoshea hath
the king of Asshur
captured Samaria ,
and removeth
Israel
to Asshur
, and
causeth
them to
dwell
in Halah, and
in Habor,
`
by '
the river Gozan
, and `
in '
the cities of the Medes.
In the ninth year of Hoshea ,
the king of Assyria
captured Samaria and carried
away
the
Israelites
to Assyria
, where
he
settled
them in Halah, in Gozan
by the Habor
River, and in the cities of the Medes.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
because the sons
of Israel have
sinned against Jehovah
their God --
who bringeth
them up
out of the land of Egypt ,
from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt --
and
fear
other gods ,
All
this
happened
because the people
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 .
They
had
worshiped
other gods
and walk
in the statutes
of the nations that Jehovah
dispossessed
from
the presence
of
the sons
of
Israel
, and
of
the kings of Israel that
they
made;
and walked
in the customs
of the nations that the LORD
had
driven
out
before
the Israelites
, as
well
as
in
the practices
introduced
by
the
kings of Israel .
and
the sons
of
Israel
do
covertly
things that
`are'
not
right
against Jehovah
their God, and
build
for
them
high places in all their cities ,
from
a
tower
of
the
watchers
unto
the
fenced
city,
The Israelites
secretly
did
things against the
LORD
their God that
were
not
right.
From
watchtower
to
fortified
city
, they
built
high places in all their cities .
and
set up for them
standing-
pillars and shrines
on every high height,
and under every green tree ,
They
set up for themselves
sacred
pillars and Asherah
poles
on every high hill
and under every green tree .
and
make
perfume
there
in
all high places ,
like the nations that Jehovah
removed
from
their
presence,
and
do
evil
things to
provoke
Jehovah
,
They
burned
incense
on
all the
high places like the nations that the
LORD
had
driven
out
before
them.
They
did
wicked
things, provoking
the
LORD
to
anger.
and
serve
the
idols, of
which
Jehovah
said
to
them, `Ye
do
not do this thing ;'
They
served
idols, although
the
LORD
had
told
them, “You
shall
not do this thing .”
And
Jehovah
testifieth
against
Israel,
and against
Judah
, by
the hand
of
every
prophet,
and every
seer
, saying, `
Turn back
from your evil
ways ,
and keep My commands,
My
statutes, according to all
the law that I commanded your fathers ,
and that
I
sent
unto
you by
the
hand
of
My servants the prophets ;'
Yet
through
all
His
prophets
and seers
, the LORD
warned
Israel
and Judah
, saying, “
Turn from your wicked
ways and keep My commandments
and
statutes, according to the entire
Law that I commanded your fathers and delivered
to
you through
My servants the prophets .”
and
they have
not hearkened
, and harden
their neck,
like the
neck
of
their fathers, who did not remain
stedfast
in
Jehovah
their God ,
But
they would
not listen
, and they
stiffened
their necks
like their fathers, who did not believe
the
LORD
their God .
and
reject
His statutes and His
covenant that
He made with their fathers, and
His
testimonies
that
He testified
against
them ,
and
go
after
the
vain
thing,
and become
vain
, and
after the nations that are
round
about
them,
of
whom
Jehovah
commanded them not to do
like
them;
They
rejected
His statutes and the
covenant He had
made with their fathers, as
well
as
the
decrees
He had
given
them .
They
pursued
worthless
idols
and themselves
became
worthless
, going
after the surrounding
nations that the
LORD
had
commanded them not to imitate.
And
they forsake
all the commands
of Jehovah
their God ,
and make
to
them
a
molten
image
--
two calves ,
and make
a
shrine,
and
bow
themselves
to all the host of the
heavens,
and serve
Baal ,
They abandoned
all the commandments
of the
LORD
their God and made
for
themselves
two cast
idols
of
calves and an
Asherah
pole.
They
bowed
down
to all the host of heaven
and served
Baal .
and
cause
their sons and their
daughters to
pass
over
through
fire ,
and divine
divinations,
and
use
enchantments,
and sell
themselves to do
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, to
provoke
Him ;
They
sacrificed
their sons and daughters in
the
fire and practiced
divination
and soothsaying.
They
devoted
themselves to doing
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
, provoking
Him to
anger.
That
Jehovah
sheweth
himself
very angry against
Israel, and turneth
them aside
from His presence ;
none
hath
been
left,
only the tribe of Judah by
itself.
So
the
LORD
was
very angry with
Israel, and He
removed
them from His presence .
Only the tribe of Judah remained,
Also
Judah hath
not kept
the commands
of Jehovah
their God, and
they
walk
in
the statutes
of
Israel that
they
had made
.
and
even
Judah did
not keep
the commandments
of the
LORD
their God, but
lived
according
to
the customs
Israel had introduced
.
And
Jehovah
kicketh
against
all the seed
of Israel ,
and
afflicteth
them ,
and giveth
them into the hand
of spoilers
, till
that
He hath
cast
them out
of
His presence ,
So
the
LORD
rejected
all the descendants
of Israel .
He
afflicted
them and delivered
them into the hands
of plunderers
, until
He had
banished
them from
His presence .
for
He
hath
rent
Israel from the house of David, and
they make
Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam driveth
Israel from after
Jehovah,
and hath
caused them to sin
a great sin ,
When
the
LORD
had
torn
Israel away
from the house of David, they made
Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam led
Israel away
from following
the
LORD
and caused them to commit
a great sin .
and
the sons
of
Israel
walk
in all the sins of
Jeroboam
that he
did ,
they
have
not turned
aside
therefrom,
The Israelites
persisted
in all the sins that Jeroboam
had
committed
and
did not turn
away
from
them.
till
that
Jehovah
hath
turned
Israel aside
from His presence, as He spake
by
the
hand
of
all His servants the prophets ,
and
Israel is
removed
from off
its
land
to
Asshur
, unto
this day.
Finally,
the
LORD
removed
Israel from His presence, as He had
declared
through
all His servants the prophets .
So
Israel was
exiled
from their
homeland
into
Assyria
, where
they
are
to
this day.
And
the king of Asshur
bringeth
in
from Babylon and
from
Cutha
, and
from
Ava
, and
from
Hamath, and Sepharvaim ,
and causeth
`
them '
to
dwell
in the cities
of Samaria instead
of
the sons
of
Israel,
and
they possess
Samaria ,
and dwell
in its cities;
Then
the king of Assyria
brought
people
from Babylon, Cuthah
, Avva,
Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled
them in the towns
of Samaria to
replace
the Israelites.
They took
possession
of
Samaria and lived
in its towns.
and
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the commencement
of
their
dwelling
there, they have
not feared
Jehovah
, and
Jehovah
doth
send
among them the
lions
, and
they
are
destroying
among
them.
Now
when
the settlers
first
lived
there, they did
not worship
the
LORD
, so
He
sent
lions
among them, which
killed
some
of
them.
And
they speak
to the king of Asshur
, saying, `
The nations
that thou
hast
removed ,
and dost
place
in the cities of Samaria ,
have
not known
the custom
of the God of the land, and
He sendeth
among them the
lions
, and
lo,
they
are destroying
them ,
as
they
do
not
know
the
custom
of
the
God
of
the
land
. '
So
they spoke
to the king of Assyria
, saying, “
The peoples
that you
have
removed and placed
in the cities of Samaria do
not know
the requirements
of the God of the land .
Because
of
this
, He has
sent
lions
among them, which
are indeed
killing
them off
. ”
And
the king of Asshur
commandeth,
saying,
`Cause
to
go
thither
one of the priests whom
ye
removed
thence
, and they
go and
dwell
there ,
and he
doth
teach them
the custom
of the God of the land. '
Then
the king of Assyria
commanded:
“Send
back
one of the priests you
carried
off
from
Samaria
, and have
him
go back
to
live
there and teach the requirements
of the God of the land. ”
And
one of the priests whom
they removed
from
Samaria
cometh
in,
and dwelleth
in Beth-El
, and he is
teaching
them how they do
fear
Jehovah,
Thus
one of the priests they had
carried
away
came
and lived
in Bethel
, and he began
to
teach
them how they should
worship
the
LORD.
and
they
are
making
each nation its
gods, and place
`
them '
in the houses
of the high places that
the
Samaritans
have
made,
each
nation
in
their
cities
where
they
are
dwelling
.
Nevertheless,
the
people
of
each nation continued
to
make
their
own
gods in
the
cities
where
they
had
settled
, and they
set
them up
in the shrines
that
the
people
of Samaria
had
made
on
the high places.
And
the men of Babylon have
made Succoth-Benoth, and
the men of Cuth have
made Nergal, and
the men of Hamath have
made Ashima,
The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,
and
the Avites
have
made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites are
burning
their sons
with
fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech ,
gods of Sepharvim
.
the Avvites
made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned
their children
in
the
fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the
gods of the
Sepharvaim
.
And
they
are
fearing
Jehovah
, and
make
to
themselves from
their
extremities
priests of high
places,
and
they
are
acting
for
them
in the house
of the high places.
So
the
new
residents
worshiped
the
LORD
, but
they
also
appointed
for
themselves priests of all
sorts
to
serve
in the shrines
of the high places.
Jehovah
they are
fearing
, and
their gods they
are
serving,
according to the custom
of the nations whence
they removed
them
.
They worshiped
the
LORD
, but
they
also
served
their own
gods according to the customs
of the nations from
which
they had
been
carried
away
.
Unto
this day they are doing
according
to
the
former customs --
they
are
not
fearing
Jehovah,
and
are
not
doing
according
to
their
statutes, and
according
to
their
ordinances, and
according
to
the
law
, and according
to
the
command,
that Jehovah
commanded
the sons
of Jacob whose
name
He made
Israel ,
To
this day they are still
practicing
their
former customs .
None
of
them
worship
the
LORD
or
observe
the
statutes, ordinances, laws
, and commandments
that the LORD
gave
the
descendants
of Jacob ,
whom
He named
Israel .
and
Jehovah
maketh
with
them
a covenant ,
and chargeth
them, saying,
`Ye
do not fear
other gods ,
nor
bow yourselves
to them ,
nor
serve them ,
nor
sacrifice to them ,
For
the
LORD
had
made
a covenant with
the
Israelites
and commanded
them, “
Do not worship
other gods or
bow down
to them ;
do
not
serve them or
sacrifice to them .
but
Jehovah
who brought you up
out of the land of Egypt with great power ,
and with
a
stretched-out
arm ,
Him
ye
do
fear,
and
to Him
ye
bow yourselves,
and to Him ye
do
sacrifice;
Instead,
worship
the
LORD,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an
outstretched
arm .
You
are
to bow down
to
Him
and offer
sacrifices
to Him .
and the statutes, and
the
judgments
, and
the
law
, and the
command,
that
He wrote for you ,
ye
observe
to
do
all
the
days,
and
ye
do not fear
other gods ;
And you
must
always
be
careful
to
observe
the statutes, ordinances
, laws
, and commandments
He wrote for you .
Do not worship
other gods .
and
the covenant that
I have made with you ye
do
not
forget,
and
ye
do not fear
other gods ;
Do
not
forget
the covenant I have made with you .
Do not worship
other gods ,
but Jehovah
your God ye
do
fear
, and He doth
deliver you out
of
the hand
of all your enemies ;'
but worship
the
LORD
your God, and He will
deliver you from
the hands
of all your enemies .”
and
they have
not hearkened
, but
according
to
their former custom
they
are
doing,
But
they would
not listen
, and
they
persisted
in
their former customs.
and
these nations are
fearing
Jehovah,
and
their
graven
images
they
have
served ,
both
their sons
and their sons'
sons;
as their fathers did ,
they
are
doing
unto
this
day
.
So
these nations worshiped
the
LORD
but
also
served their idols,
and to
this
day
their children
and
grandchildren
continue
to
do
as their fathers did.
