2 Reyes 17:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:24

And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon
Which was at this time under the dominion of the king of Assyria; though in a little time after this it revolted, and had a king of its own, ( 2 Kings 20:12 ) , this king of Assyria was either Shalmaneser, who carried Israel captive, or it may be rather his son Esarhaddon, see ( Ezra 4:2 ) ,

and from Cuthah;
which, according to Josephus F11, was a city in Persia, where was a river of the same name; but it was rather a place in Erech, in the country of Babylon, (See Gill on Genesis 10:10),

and from Ava;
the same with Ivah, ( Isaiah 37:13 ) , where perhaps a colony of the Avim had settled, ( Deuteronomy 2:23 )

and from Hamath;
a city of Syria, which lay on the northern borders of the land of Canaan, ( Numbers 34:8 )

and from Sepharvaim;
thought by some to be the Sippara of Ptolemy, or the Sippareni of Abydenus, in Mesopotamia; though Vitringa takes it to be a city in Syro-Phoenicia, (See Gill on Isaiah 36:19),

and placed them in the cities of Samaria, instead of the children of
Israel;
not in Samaria, which was now destroyed, according to the prophecy in ( Micah 1:6 ) as Abarbinel and other Jewish writers note:

and they possessed Samaria;
as an inheritance; sowed it with corn, and planted vineyards there:

and dwelt in the cities thereof;
in the several parts of the kingdom.

2 Reyes 17:24 In-Context

22 Los israelitas persistieron en seguir todos los caminos perversos de Jeroboam. No se apartaron de esos pecados
23 hasta que finalmente el Se帽or
los barri贸 de su presencia, tal como les hab铆an advertido todos los profetas. En consecuencia, los israelitas fueron desterrados y deportados a Asiria, donde se encuentran hasta el d铆a de hoy.
24 Extranjeros en Israel
El rey de Asiria transport贸 grupos de gente desde Babilonia, Cuta, Ava, Hamat y Sefarvaim, y los reubic贸 en las ciudades de Samaria en reemplazo del pueblo de Israel. Ellos tomaron posesi贸n de Samaria y habitaron sus ciudades;
25 pero ya que estos colonos extranjeros no adoraban al Se帽or
cuando reci茅n llegaron, el Se帽or
envi贸 leones, que mataron a algunos de ellos.
26 Por esa raz贸n mandaron un mensaje al rey de Asiria en el cual le dec铆an: 芦La gente que has mandado a habitar las ciudades de Samaria no conoce las costumbres religiosas del Dios de ese lugar. 脡l ha enviado leones a destruirlos, porque no lo adoraron como se debe禄.
