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.

2 Reyes 17:26 In-Context

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.
28 Entonces uno de los sacerdotes que hab铆a sido desterrado de Samaria regres贸 a Betel y les ense帽贸 a los nuevos residentes c贸mo adorar al Se帽or
