17:1
anno duodecimo Ahaz regis Iuda regnavit Osee filius Hela inSamaria super Israhel novem annis

17:2
fecitque malum coram Domino sed non sicut reges Israhel quiante eum fuerant

17:3
contra hunc ascendit Salmanassar rex Assyriorum et factusest ei Osee servus reddebatque illi tributa

17:4
cumque deprehendisset rex Assyriorum Osee quod rebellarenitens misisset nuntios ad Sua regem Aegypti ne praestarettributa regi Assyriorum sicut singulis annis solitus eratobsedit eum et vinctum misit in carcerem

17:5
pervagatusque est omnem terram et ascendens Samariamobsedit eam tribus annis

17:6
anno autem nono Osee cepit rex Assyriorum Samariam ettranstulit Israhel in Assyrios posuitque eos in Ala et in Haboriuxta fluvium Gozan in civitatibus Medorum

17:7
factum est enim cum peccassent filii Israhel Domino Deo suoqui eduxerat eos de terra Aegypti de manu Pharaonis regisAegypti coluerunt deos alienos

17:8
et ambulaverunt iuxta ritum gentium quas consumpseratDominus in conspectu filiorum Israhel et regum Israhel quiasimiliter fecerant

17:9
et operuerunt filii Israhel verbis non rectis Dominum Deumsuum et aedificaverunt sibi excelsa in cunctis urbibus suis aturre custodum usque ad civitatem munitam

17:10
feceruntque sibi statuas et lucos in omni colle sublimi etsubter omne lignum nemorosum

17:11
et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in more gentium quastranstulerat Dominus a facie eorum feceruntque verba pessimainritantes Dominum

17:12
et coluerunt inmunditias de quibus praecepit Dominus eisne facerent verbum hoc

17:13
et testificatus est Dominus in Israhel et in Iuda permanum omnium prophetarum et videntum dicens revertimini a viisvestris pessimis et custodite praecepta mea et caerimoniasiuxta omnem legem quam praecepi patribus vestris et sicut misiad vos in manu servorum meorum prophetarum

17:14
qui non audierunt sed induraverunt cervicem suam iuxtacervicem patrum suorum qui noluerunt oboedire Domino Deo suo

17:15
et abiecerunt legitima eius et pactum quod pepigit cumpatribus eorum et testificationes quibus contestatus est eossecutique sunt vanitates et vane egerunt et secuti sunt gentesquae erant per circuitum eorum super quibus praeceperat Dominuseis ut non facerent sicut et illae faciebant

17:16
et dereliquerunt omnia praecepta Domini Dei suifeceruntque sibi conflatiles duos vitulos et lucos etadoraverunt universam militiam caeli servieruntque Baal

17:17
et consecrabant ei filios suos et filias suas per ignem etdivinationibus inserviebant et auguriis et tradiderunt se utfacerent malum coram Domino et inritarent eum

17:18
iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israhel et abstulit eosde conspectu suo et non remansit nisi tribus Iuda tantummodo

17:19
sed nec ipse Iuda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui verumambulavit in erroribus Israhel quos operatus fuerat

17:20
proiecitque Dominus omne semen Israhel et adflixit eos ettradidit in manu diripientium donec proiceret eos a facie sua

17:21
ex eo iam tempore quo scissus est Israhel a domo David etconstituerunt sibi regem Hieroboam filium Nabath separavit enimHieroboam Israhel a Domino et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum

17:22
et ambulaverunt filii Israhel in universis peccatisHieroboam quae fecerat non recesserunt ab eis

17:23
usquequo auferret Dominus Israhel a facie sua sicutlocutus fuerat in manu omnium servorum suorum prophetarumtranslatusque est Israhel de terra sua in Assyrios usque indiem hanc

17:24
adduxit autem rex Assyriorum de Babylone et de Chutha etde Haiath et de Emath et de Sepharvaim et conlocavit eos incivitatibus Samariae pro filiis Israhel qui possederuntSamariam et habitaverunt in urbibus eius

17:25
cumque ibi habitare coepissent non timebant Dominum etinmisit eis Dominus leones qui interficiebant eos

17:26
nuntiatumque est regi Assyriorum et dictum gentes quastranstulisti et habitare fecisti in civitatibus Samariaeignorant legitima Dei terrae et inmisit in eos Dominus leoneset ecce interficiunt eos eo quod ignorent ritum Dei terrae

17:27
praecepit autem rex Assyriorum dicens ducite illuc unum desacerdotibus quos inde captivos adduxistis et vadat et habitetcum eis et doceat eos legitima Dei terrae

17:28
igitur cum venisset unus de sacerdotibus his qui captividucti fuerant de Samaria habitavit in Bethel et docebat eosquomodo colerent Dominum

17:29
et unaquaeque gens fabricata est deum suum posueruntqueeos in fanis excelsis quae fecerant Samaritae gens et gens inurbibus suis in quibus habitabant

17:30
viri enim babylonii fecerunt Socchothbenoth viri autemchutheni fecerunt Nergel et viri de Emath fecerunt Asima

17:31
porro Evei fecerunt Nebaaz et Tharthac hii autem qui erantde Sepharvaim conburebant filios suos igni Adramelech etAnamelech diis Sepharvaim

17:32
et nihilominus colebant Dominum fecerunt autem sibi denovissimis sacerdotes excelsorum et ponebant eos in fanissublimibus

17:33
et cum Dominum colerent diis quoque suis serviebant iuxtaconsuetudinem gentium de quibus translati fuerant Samariam

17:34
usque in praesentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum nontiment Dominum neque custodiunt caerimonias eius et iudicia etlegem et mandatum quod praeceperat Dominus filiis Iacob quemcognominavit Israhel

17:35
et percusserat cum eis pactum et mandaverat eis dicensnolite timere deos alienos et non adoretis eos neque colatis etnon immoletis eis

17:36
sed Dominum Deum vestrum qui eduxit vos de terra Aegyptiin fortitudine magna et in brachio extento ipsum timete illumadorate et ipsi immolate

17:37
caerimonias quoque et iudicia et legem et mandatum quodscripsit vobis custodite ut faciatis cunctis diebus et nontimeatis deos alienos

17:38
et pactum quod percussi vobiscum nolite oblivisci neccolatis deos alienos

17:39
sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete et ipse eruet vos de manuomnium inimicorum vestrorum

17:40
illi vero non audierunt sed iuxta consuetudinem suampristinam perpetrabant

17:41
fuerunt igitur gentes istae timentes quidem Dominum sednihilominus et idolis suis servientes nam et filii eorum etnepotes sicut fecerunt parentes sui ita faciunt usque inpraesentem diem

017:001
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

017:002
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

017:003
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

017:004
And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

017:005
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

017:006
In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

017:007
For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

017:008
And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

017:009
And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

017:010
And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

017:011
And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

017:012
For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

017:013
Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

017:014
Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

017:015
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

017:016
And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

017:017
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

017:018
Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

017:019
Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

017:020
And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

017:021
For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.

017:022
For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

017:023
Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

017:024
And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

017:025
And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.

017:026
Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

017:027
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

017:028
Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

017:029
Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.

017:030
And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

017:031
And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

017:032
So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

017:033
They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

017:034
Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

017:035
With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

017:036
But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

017:037
And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.

017:038
And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.

017:039
But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

017:040
Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.

017:041
So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
