2 Reyes 17:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:25

And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that
they feared not the Lord
Did not serve him in any manner, but their idols only, which they brought with them; whereas it was usual with Heathens to serve the gods of the country, as they reputed them, where they came, along with their own; but even this those men did not do:

therefore the Lord sent lions among them;
even into their cities, into which lions sometimes came F12, especially when old, out of the thickets of Jordan and other places where they haunted, see ( Jeremiah 49:19 )

which slew some of them;
this the Lord did to assert his sovereignty, authority, and mighty power, and to let them know that he could as easily clear the land of them, as they, by his permission, had cleared the land of the Israelites, Josephus F13 calls this a plague that was sent among them.

2 Reyes 17:25 In-Context

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.
27 Entonces el rey de Asiria orden贸: 芦Manden de regreso a Samaria a uno de los sacerdotes desterrados; que viva all铆 y les ense帽e a los nuevos residentes las costumbres religiosas del Dios de ese lugar禄.
