2 Kings 17:27-29

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁷ Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Take back one of the priests whom you brought from there. And let him go and dwell there and teach them the justice of the God of the country.”

²⁸ So, one of the priests whom they had carried from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

²⁹ Nonetheless, every nation made their own gods and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in every city in which they dwelt.
