6In 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.
“In the ninth year of Hosea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Hala and in Habor, by the river Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.”
“in the ninth year of Hosea the king of Assyria captured Samaria and carried Israel away into exile to Assyria and settled them in Hela and Hebor on the river Gozan and in the cities of the Medes.”
7All 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
“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,”
“Now this came about because the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God who had brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And they had feared other gods”
8and 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 walked in the customs of the nations whom the Lord had driven out before the sons of Israel and in the customs of the kings of Israel which they had introduced.”
9The 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 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 fence city,”
“the sons of Israel did things secretly which were not right against the Lord their God. Moreover they built for themselves high places in all their towns from watchtower to fortified city.”
10They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
“they set for themselves sacred pillars and asheram on every high hill and under every green tree.”
“and they set them up, images and groves, and every high hill, and under every green tree,”
11They 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 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.”
“And there they burned incense on all the high places as the nations did which the Lord had carried away to exile before them. And they did evil things provoking the Lord.”
12They served idols, although the LORD had told them, "You shall not do this thing."
“For they served idols whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.”
“They served idols concerning which the Lord had said to them you shall not do this thing.”
13Yet 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."
“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…”
“Yet the Lord warned Israel and Judah through all his prophets and every seer saying turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments my statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers and which I sent to you…”
“Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah. By all of his prophets and every seer saying. Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes. According to all the law which I commanded your fathers. In…”
14But they would not listen, and they stiffened their necks like their fathers, who did not believe the LORD their God.
“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.”
“however they did not listen but stiffened their neck like their fathers who did not believe in the Lord their God.”
15They 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 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…”

“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…”
“they rejected his statutes in his covenant which he made with their fathers and his warnings with which he warned them. And they followed vanity and became vain and went after the nations which surrounded them concerning which…”
“And they rejected his statutes. And his covenant that he made with their fathers. And his testimonies which he had testified against them. They followed idols. Became idolaters. And went after the nations who were all around…”
16They 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 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 hosts of heaven, and served Baal.”
“they forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God and made for themselves molten images even two calves and made an asherah and worshiped all the host of heaven and served Baal.”
17They 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.
“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.”
“Then they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire and practiced divination and enchantments and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord provoking him.”
18So the LORD was very angry with Israel, and He removed them from His presence. Only the tribe of Judah remained,
“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.”
“So the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them from his sight. None was left except the tribe of Judah.”
19and even Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but lived according to the customs Israel had introduced.
“also. Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God but walked in the customs which Israel had introduced.”
20So 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.
“And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel, afflicted them and delivered them into the hands of plunderers until he had cast them from his sight.”
“And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them and gave them into the hand of plunderers until he had cast them out of his sight”
“and the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel and Afflicted them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies until he cast them out of his sight”
21When 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.
“For he tore Israel from the house of David and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebath king. Then Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord and made them commit a great sin.”
“when he had torn Israel from the house of David they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Then Jeroboam drove Israel away from following the Lord and made them commit a great sin.”
22The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam had committed and did not turn away from them.
“For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he did. They did not depart from them”
“the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did. They did not depart from them”
23Finally, 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.
“Until the Lord removed Israel out of His sight, as He had said by His servants the prophets, so was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.”
“until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight. And as he had said by all his servants, the prophets, so Israel was carried away from their own land to Assyria as it is to this day.”
24Then 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 the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Ava and from Hamath and from Zephirvim and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel. And they possessed Samaria and dwelt in…”
“And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Kuthah and from Ava and Hamath and Sepharvaim and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel. And they possessed Samaria and dwelt in the…”
“the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Kata and from Abba and from Hamath and Seraphim and settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the sons of Israel. So they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.”
25Now when the settlers first lived there, they did not worship the LORD, so He sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
“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.”
“at the beginning of their living there that they did not fear the Lord. Therefore the Lord sent lions among them which killed some of them.”
“And it was so at the beginning of their dwelling there, they did not fear the Lord. Therefore, the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them.”
26So 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."
“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 has sent lions among them and behold they slay…”
“Therefore they spake to the king of Syria 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 has sent lions among them and behold they slay…”
“So they spoke to the king of Assyria saying the nations whom you've carried away into exile in the cities of Samaria do not know the custom of the god of the land. So he has sent lions among them and behold they killed them…”
27Then 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."
“the king of Assyria commanded and saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence and let them go and dwell there and let him teach them the manner of the gods of the land.”
“the king of Assyria commanded sin take there one of the priests whom you carried away into exile let him go and live there and let him teach them and teach them the custom of the god of the land.”
“Then the king of Assyria commanded, send there one of the priests whom you carried away then, so let him go and dwell there and teach them the law of the God of the land.”
28Thus 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.
“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.”
“So one of the priests whom they had carried away into exile from Samaria came and lived at Bethel and taught them how they should fear the Lord.”
“Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel and taught them and taught them how they should fear the Lord.”
29Nevertheless, 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.
“every nation made gods of their own and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans have made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.”
30The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,

32So 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.
“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.”
33They worshiped the LORD, but they also served their own gods according to the customs of the nations from which they had been carried away.
“they feared the Lord and served their own gods after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.”
“They feared the Lord and served their own gods after the manner of the nations whom they had carried away from thence”
“They feared the Lord and served their own gods, their idols, according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.”
34To 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.
