1: In the yearH8141 twoH8147 [and] tenH6240 of AhazH0271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 became kingH4427 HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of ElahH0425 in SamariaH8111 ofH5921 IsraelH3478 [and he reigned] nineH8672 years.H8141
2: And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of Yahweh,H3068 butH7535 notH3808 as the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 whoH0834 wereH1961 before him.H6440
3: Against himH5921 came upH5927 ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of Assyria-H0804 and becameH1961 HosheaH1954 vassal,H5650 and paidH7725 tribute money.H4503
4: And uncoveredH4672 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 by Hoshea,H1954 a conspiracyH7195 forH0834 he had sentH7971 messengersH4397 toH0413 soH5471 kingH4428 of Egypt,H4714 and noH3808 broughtH5927 tributeH4503 to the kingH4428 of Assyria,H0804 as [he had done] yearH8141 by year-H8141 therefore shut him up,H6113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 and bound himH0631 in prisonH1004 in prison.H3608
5: And wentH5927 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 throughout allH3605 the land,H0776 and went upH5927 to Samaria,H8111 and besiegedH6696 itH5921 threeH7969 for years.H8141
6: In yearH8141 the ninthH8671 of HosheaH1954 tookH3920 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 -H0853 Samaria,H8111 and carried awayH1540 -H0853 IsraelH3478 to Assyria,H0804 and placedH3427 themH0853 in HalahH2477 and by the HaborH2249 the RiverH5104 of Gozan,H1470 and in the citiesH5892 of the Medes.H4074
7: For so it was,H1961 thatH3588 had sinnedH2398 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 against YahwehH3068 their God,H0430 who had brought upH5927 themH0853 out of the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 from underH8478 the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of Egypt,H4714 and they had fearedH3372 gods,H0430 other.H0312
8: And had walkedH1980 in the statutesH2708 of the nations,H1471 whomH0834 had cast outH3423 YahwehH3068 from beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of Israel,H3478 and of the kingsH4428 of Israel,H3478 whichH0834 they had made.H6213
9: And secretly didH2644 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 thingsH1697 that [were]H0834 notH3808 rightH3651 againstH5921 YahwehH3068 their God,H0430 and they builtH1129 high placesH1116 in allH3605 their cities,H5892 fromH4026 watchtowerH5341 toH5704 cityH5892 fortified.H4013
10: And they set upH5324 [sacred] pillarsH4676 and wooden imagesH0842 onH5921 everyH3605 hill,H1389 highH1364 and underH8478 everyH3605 tree,H6086 green.H7488
11: And they burned incenseH6999 thereH8033 on allH3605 the high places,H1116 like the nationsH1471 whomH0834 had carried awayH1540 YahwehH3068 before themH6440 and they didH6213 thingsH1697 wickedH7451 to provoke to angerH3707 -H0853 Yahweh.H3068
12: For they servedH5647 idols,H1544 of whichH0834 had saidH0559 YahwehH3068 notH3808 You shall doH6213 -H0853 thingH1697 this.H2088
13: And yet testifiedH5749 YahwehH3068 against Israel,H3478 and against Judah,H3063 byH3027 allH3605 His prophets,H5030 everyH3605 seer,H2374 saying,H0559 TurnH7725 from your waysH1870 evilH7451 and keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687 [and] My statutes,H2708 according to allH3605 the lawH8451 whichH0834 I commandedH6680 -H0853 your fathers,H0001 and whichH0834 I sentH7971 to youH0413 byH3027 My servantsH5650 the prophets.H5030
14: And nevertheless notH3808 they would hear,H8085 but stiffenedH7185 -H0853 their necks,H6203 like the necksH6203 of their fathers,H0001 whoH0834 notH3808 did believeH0539 in YahwehH3068 their God.H0430
15: And they rejectedH3988 -H0853 His statutes,H2706 andH0853 His covenantH1285 thatH0834 He had madeH3772 withH0854 their fathers,H0001 andH0853 His testimoniesH5715 whichH0834 He had testifiedH5749 and they followedH1980 -H0310 idols,H1892 and became idolaters,H1891 and [went] afterH0310 the nationsH1471 who [were]H0834 all around themH5439 [concerning] whomH0834 had chargedH6680 YahwehH3068 themH0853 that notH1115 they should doH6213
16: So they leftH5800 -H0853 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of YahwehH3068 their God,H0430 and madeH6213 a molded image,H4541 [and] twoH8147 calves,H5695 and madeH6213 a wooden image,H0842 and worshipedH7812 allH3605 the hostH6635 of heaven,H8064 and servedH5647 -H0853 Baal.H1168
17: And they caused to pass throughH5674 -H0853 their sonsH1121 andH0853 daughtersH1323 the fire,H0784 and practicedH7080 witchcraftH7081 and soothsaying,H5172 and sold themselvesH4376 to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of Yahweh,H3068 to provoke Him to anger.H3707
18: Therefore was angryH0599 YahwehH3068 veryH3966 with Israel,H3478 and removed themH5493 fromH5921 His sight-H6440 noneH3808 there was leftH7604 butH7535 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.H0905
19: AlsoH1571 JudahH3063 notH3808 did keepH8104 -H0853 the commandmentsH4687 of YahwehH3068 their God,H0430 but walkedH1980 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 whichH0834 they made.H6213
20: And rejectedH3988 YahwehH3068 allH3605 the descendantsH2233 of Israel,H3478 and afflicted themH6031 and delivered themH5414 into the handH3027 of plunderers,H8154 untilH5704 thatH0834 He had cast themH7993 from His sight.H6440
21: ForH3588 He toreH7167 IsraelH3478 fromH5921 the houseH1004 of David-H1732 and they made king-H4427 -H0853 JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028 droveH5077 JeroboamH3379 -H0853 IsraelH3478 from followingH0310 Yahweh,H3068 and made them commitH2398 a sinH2401 great.H1419
22: For walkedH1980 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in allH3605 the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 whichH0834 he did-H6213 notH3808 they did departH5493 from them.H4480
23: ToH5704 untilH0834 removedH5493 YahwehH3068 -H0853 IsraelH3478 outH5921 of His sight,H6440 asH0834 He had saidH1696 byH3027 allH3605 His servantsH5650 the prophets.H5030 So was carried awayH1540 IsraelH3478 fromH5921 their own landH0127 to AssyriaH0804 [as it is] toH5704 dayH3117 this.H2088
24: And brought [people]H0935 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 from BabylonH0894 and CuthahH3575 and AvaH5755 and HamathH2574 and from Sepharvaim,H5617 and placed [them]H3427 in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 insteadH8478 of the sonsH1121 of Israel.H3478 And they took possessionH3423 -H0853 of Samaria,H8111 and dweltH3427 in its cities.H5892
25: And it was soH1961 at the beginningH8462 of their dwellingH3427 there,H8033 notH3808 [that] they did fearH3372 -H0853 Yahweh-H3068 therefore sentH7971 YahwehH3068 -H0853 lionsH0738 and whichH1961 killed [some]H2026
26: So they spokeH0559 to the kingH4428 of Assyria,H0804 saying,H0559 the nationsH1471 whomH0834 you have removed,H1540 and placedH3427 in the citiesH5892 of Samaria,H8111 notH3808 do knowH3045 -H0853 the ritualsH4941 of the GodH0430 of the land-H0776 therefore He has sentH7971 -H0853 lionsH0738 and indeed,H2009 they are killingH4191 themH0853 becauseH0834 notH0369 they do knowH3045 -H0853 the ritualsH4941 of the GodH0430 of the land.H0776
27: And commanded,H6680 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 saying,H0559 SendH1980 thereH8033 oneH0259 of the priestsH3548 whomH0834 you broughtH1540 from there-H8033 and let him goH1980 and dwellH3427 there,H8033 and let him teach themH3384 -H0853 the ritualsH4941 of the GodH0430 of the land.H0776
28: And cameH0935 oneH0259 of the priestsH3548 whomH0834 they had carried awayH1540 from SamariaH8111 and dweltH3427 Bethel,H1008 andH1961 taughtH3384 themH0853 howH0349 they should fearH3372 -H0853 Yahweh.H3068
29: And HoweverH1961 continued to makeH6213 however every nationH1471 every nationH1471 gods of its ownH0430 and put [them]H3240 in the shrines onH1004 the high placesH1116 whichH0834 had made,H6213 the SamaritansH8118 everyH1471 [every] nationH1471 in the citiesH5892 whereH0834 theyH1992 dweltH3427 there.H8033
30: And the menH0376 of BabylonH0894 madeH6213 -H0853 Succoth Benoth,H5524 and the menH0376 of CuthH3575 madeH6213 -H0853 Nergal,H5370 and the menH0376 of HamathH2574 madeH6213 -H0853 Ashima,H0807
31: and the AvitesH5757 madeH6213 NibhazH5026 andH0853 Tartak,H8662 and the SepharvitesH5616 burnedH8313 -H0853 their childrenH1121 in fireH0784 to AdrammelechH0152 and Anammelech,H6048 the gods ofH0433 Sepharvites.H5617
32: SoH1961 they fearedH3372 -H0853 YahwehH3069 and they appointedH6213 for themselvesH1992 from every classH7098 priestsH3548 of the high places,H1116 and whoH1961 sacrificedH6213 for themH1992 in the shrinesH1004 of the high places.H1116
33: -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 servedH1961 they fearedH3372 and yetH0853 their own gods,H0430 becomeH1961 servedH5647 according to the ritualsH4941 of the nationsH1471 whomH0834 they were carried awayH1540 -H0853 from among.H8033
34: ToH5704 dayH3117 thisH2088 theyH1992 continue practicingH6213 the rituals-H4941 formerH7223 notH0369 they do fearH3372 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 and notH0369 do they followH6213 their statutes,H2708 or their ordinances,H4941 or the lawH8451 and commandmentH4687 whichH0834 had commandedH6680 YahwehH3068 -H0853 the sonsH1121 of Jacob,H3290 whomH0834 He namedH7760 -H8034 Israel-H3478
35: and had madeH3772 YahwehH3068 with whomH0854 a covenant,H1285 and charged themH6680 saying,H0559 notH3808 You shall fearH3372 gods,H0430 otherH0312 norH3808 bow downH7812 norH3808 serve themH5647 norH3808 sacrificeH2076
36: ForH3588 butH0518 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 whoH0834 brought upH5927 youH0853 from the landH0776 of EgyptH4714 with powerH3581 greatH1419 and an arm,H2220 outstretchedH5186 HimH0853 you shall fear,H3372 you shall worship,H7812 you shall offer sacrifice.H2076
37: AndH0853 the statutes,H2706 andH0853 the ordinances,H4941 and the law,H8451 and the commandment,H4687 whichH0834 He wroteH3789 you shall be carefulH8104 to observeH6213 allH3605 forever-H3117 and notH3808 you shall fearH3372 godsH0430 other.H0312
38: And the covenantH1285 thatH0834 I have madeH3772 with youH0854 notH3808 you shall forget-H7911 norH3808 shall you fearH3372 godsH0430 other.H0312
39: ForH3588 butH0518 -H0853 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 you shall fear-H3372 and HeH1931 will deliverH5337 youH0853 from the handH3027 of allH3605 your enemies.H0341
40: And However notH3808 they did obey,H8085 forH3588 butH0518 their rituals.H4941 FormerH7223 theyH1992 followed.H6213
41: SoH1961 nationsH1471 theseH0428 fearedH3372 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 and yetH0853 their carved images,H6456 becomeH1961 servedH5647 alsoH1571 their children,H1121 and childrenH1121 their children's-H1121 asH0834 didH6213 their fathers,H0001 theyH1992 have continued doingH6213 even toH5704 dayH3117 this.H2088
