2 Reyes 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.

24 Y el rey de Asiria trajo hombres de Babilonia, de Cuta, de Ava, de Hamat y de Sefarvaim, y los puso en las ciudades de Samaria en lugar de los hijos de Israel. Y tomaron posesi贸n de Samaria y habitaron en sus ciudades.
25 Y aconteci贸 que como al principio de habitar ellos all铆, no temieron al SE脩OR, el SE脩OR envi贸 leones entre ellos que mataron a muchos de ellos.
26 Entonces hablaron al rey de Asiria, diciendo: Las naciones que has llevado al destierro a las ciudades de Samaria, no conocen la costumbre del dios de la tierra; por eso 茅l ha enviado leones entre ellos, y he aqu铆, los leones los matan porque ellos no conocen la costumbre del dios de la tierra.
27 Y el rey de Asiria orden贸, diciendo: Llevad all谩 a uno de los sacerdotes que llevasteis al destierro, y que 茅l vaya y habite all铆; y que les ense帽e la costumbre del dios de la tierra.
28 Y vino uno de los sacerdotes que hab铆an llevado al destierro desde Samaria, y habit贸 en Betel, y les ense帽贸 c贸mo hab铆an de temer al SE脩OR.
