17:2 And he did 62138799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, but not as the kings 4428 of Israel 3478 that were before 6440 him.
17:3 Against him came up 59278804 Shalmaneser 8022 king 4428 of Assyria 804; and Hoshea 1954 became his servant 5650, and gave 77258686 him presents 4503.(gave: Heb. rendered)(presents: or, tribute)
17:9 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did secretly 26448762 [those] things 1697 that [were] not right against the LORD 3068 their God430, and they built 11298799 them high places 1116 in all their cities 5892, from the tower 4026 of the watchmen 53418802 to the fenced 4013 city 5892.
17:10 And they set them up 53248686 images 4676 and groves 842 in every high 1364 hill 1389, and under every green 7488 tree 6086:(images: Heb. statues)
17:11 And there they burnt incense 69998762 in all the high places 1116, as [did] the heathen 1471 whom the LORD 3068 carried away 15408689 before 6440 them; and wrought 62138799 wicked 7451 things 1697 to provoke the LORD 3068 to anger 37078687:
17:13 Yet the LORD 3068 testified 57498686 against Israel 3478, and against Judah 3063, by 3027 all the prophets 5030, [and by] all the seers 2374, saying 5598800, Turn 77258798 ye from your evil 7451 ways 1870, and keep 81048798 my commandments 4687 [and] my statutes 2708, according to all the law 8451 which I commanded 66808765 your fathers 1, and which I sent 79718804 to you by 3027 my servants 5650 the prophets 5030.(by: Heb. by the hand of)
17:14 Notwithstanding they would not hear 80858804, but hardened 71858686 their necks 6203, like to the neck 6203 of their fathers 1, that did not believe 5398689 in the LORD 3068 their God430.
17:15 And they rejected 39888799 his statutes 2706, and his covenant 1285 that he made 37728804 with their fathers 1, and his testimonies 5715 which he testified 57498689 against them; and they followed 32128799310 vanity 1892, and became vain 18918799, and went after 310 the heathen 1471 that [were] round about 5439 them, [concerning] whom the LORD 3068 had charged 66808765 them, that they should not do 62138800 like them.
17:18 Therefore the LORD 3068 was very 3966 angry 5998691 with Israel 3478, and removed 54938686 them out of his sight 6440: there was none left 76048738 but the tribe 7626 of Judah 3063 only.
17:23 Until the LORD 3068 removed 54938689 Israel 3478 out of his sight 6440, as he had said 16968765 by 3027 all his servants 5650 the prophets 5030. So was Israel 3478 carried away 15408799 out of their own land 127 to Assyria 804 unto this day 3117.
17:24 And the king 4428 of Assyria 804 brought 9358686 [men] from Babylon 894, and from Cuthah 3575, and from Ava 5755, and from Hamath 2574, and from Sepharvaim 5617, and placed 34278686 [them] in the cities 5892 of Samaria 8111 instead of the children 1121 of Israel 3478: and they possessed 34238799 Samaria 8111, and dwelt 34278799 in the cities 5892 thereof.
17:25 And [so] it was at the beginning 8462 of their dwelling 34278800 there, [that] they feared 33728804 not the LORD 3068: therefore the LORD 3068 sent 79718762 lions 738 among them, which slew 20268802 [some] of them.
17:29 Howbeit every nation 1471 made 62138802 gods 430 of their own, and put 32408686 [them] in the houses 1004 of the high places 1116 which the Samaritans 8118 had made 62138804, every nation 1471 in their cities 5892 wherein they dwelt 34278802.
17:31 And the Avites 5757 made 62138804 Nibhaz 5026 and Tartak 8662, and the Sepharvites 5616 burnt 83138802 their children 1121 in fire 784 to Adrammelech 152 and Anammelech 6048, the gods 430 of Sepharvaim 5617.
17:32 So they feared 3373 the LORD 3068, and made 62138799 unto themselves of the lowest 7098 of them priests 3548 of the high places 1116, which sacrificed 62138802 for them in the houses 1004 of the high places 1116.
17:33 They feared 3373 the LORD 3068, and served 56478802 their own gods 430, after the manner 4941 of the nations 1471 whom they carried away 15408689 from thence.(whom…: or, who carried them away from thence)
17:36 But the LORD 3068, who brought you up 59278689 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 with great 1419 power 3581 and a stretched out 51868803 arm 2220, him shall ye fear 33728799, and him shall ye worship 78128691, and to him shall ye do sacrifice 20768799.
17:37 And the statutes 2706, and the ordinances 4941, and the law 8451, and the commandment 4687, which he wrote 37898804 for you, ye shall observe 81048799 to do 62138800 for evermore 3117; and ye shall not fear 33728799 other 312 gods 430.
17:38 And the covenant 1285 that I have made 37728804 with you ye shall not forget 79118799; neither shall ye fear 33728799 other 312 gods 430.
17:40 Howbeit they did not hearken 80858804, but they did 62138802 after their former 7223 manner 4941.
17:41 So these nations 1471 feared 3373 the LORD 3068, and served 56478802 their graven images 6456, both their children 1121, and their children's 1121 children 1121: as did 62138804 their fathers 1, so do 62138802 they unto this day 3117.
