2 Reis 17:26

Listen to 2 Reis 17:26
26 Pelo que foi dito ao rei da Assíria: A gente que transportaste, e fizeste habitar nas cidades de Samária, não conhece a lei do deus da terra; por isso ele tem enviado entre ela leões que a matam, porquanto não conhece a lei do deus da terra.

2 Reis 17:26 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:26

Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria
In letters, or by messengers they sent unto him:

saying, the nations which thou hast removed;
from different places before mentioned:

and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of
the land;
taking Jehovah the God of Israel to be a topical deity, limited peculiarly to the land of Israel, whereas he was the God of the whole earth; a like notion obtained among the Syrians, see ( 1 Kings 20:28 ) now they say they know not his "manner" or "judgment" F14, the laws, statutes, ordinances, and judgments, according to which he was worshipped by the people of Israel:

therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them;
they perceived it was not a common case, nor could they impute it to any second cause, as want of food with the lions but the hand of a superior Being was in it: and they could think of no other reason, but

because they know not the manner of the God of the land;
how he was to be worshipped; and because they did not worship him, and knew not how to do it, it was resented in this manner by him.

2 Reis 17:26 In-Context

24 Depois o rei da Assíria trouxe gente de Babilônia, de Cuta, de Ava, de Hamate e de Sefarvaim, e a fez habitar nas cidades de Samária em lugar dos filhos de Israel; e eles tomaram Samária em herança, e habitaram nas suas cidades.
25 E sucedeu que, no princípio da sua habitação ali, não temeram ao Senhor; e o Senhor mandou entre eles leões, que mataram alguns deles.
26 Pelo que foi dito ao rei da Assíria: A gente que transportaste, e fizeste habitar nas cidades de Samária, não conhece a lei do deus da terra; por isso ele tem enviado entre ela leões que a matam, porquanto não conhece a lei do deus da terra.
27 Então o rei da Assíria mandou dizer: Levai ali um dos sacerdotes que transportastes de lá para que vá e habite ali, e lhes ensine a lei do deus da terra.
28 Veio, pois, um dos sacerdotes que eles tinham transportado de Samária, e habitou em Betel, e lhes ensinou como deviam temer ao Senhor.
