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 De hecho, los israelitas imitaron todos los pecados de Jerobo谩n y no se apartaron de ellos.
23 Finalmente, el SE脩OR arroj贸 a Israel de su presencia, tal como lo hab铆a anunciado por medio de sus siervos los profetas. As铆, pues, fueron desterrados y llevados cautivos a Asiria, donde hasta el d铆a de hoy se han quedado.
24 Para reemplazar a los israelitas en los poblados de Samaria, el rey de Asiria trajo gente de Babilonia, Cuta, Ava, Jamat y Sefarvayin. Estos tomaron posesi贸n de Samaria y habitaron en sus poblados.
25 Al principio, cuando se establecieron, no adoraban al SE脩OR, de modo que el SE脩OR les envi贸 leones que causaron estragos en la poblaci贸n.
26 Entonces le dieron este informe al rey de Asiria: 芦La gente que Su Majestad deport贸 y estableci贸 en los poblados de Samaria no sabe lo que requiere el dios de ese pa铆s. Por esta raz贸n, 茅l les ha enviado leones, para que los maten禄.
