2 Reis 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 Reis 17:25 In-Context

23 até que o SENHOR os afastou de sua presença, conforme os havia advertido por meio de todos os seus servos, os profetas. Assim, o povo de Israel foi tirado de sua terra e levado para o exílio na Assíria, onde ainda hoje permanecem.
24 O rei da AssĂ­ria trouxe gente da BabilĂŽnia, de Cuta, de Ava, de Hamate e de Sefarvaim e os estabeleceu nas cidades de Samaria para substituir os israelitas. Eles ocuparam Samaria e habitaram em suas cidades.
25 Quando começaram a viver ali, não adoravam o SENHOR; por isso ele enviou leÔes para o meio deles, que mataram alguns dentre o povo.
26 EntĂŁo informaram o rei da AssĂ­ria: “Os povos que deportaste e fizeste morar nas cidades de Samaria nĂŁo sabem o que o Deus daquela terra exige. Ele enviou leĂ”es para matĂĄ-los, pois desconhecem as suas exigĂȘncias”.
27 EntĂŁo o rei da AssĂ­ria deu esta ordem: “Façam um dos sacerdotes de Samaria que vocĂȘs levaram prisioneiros retornar e viver ali para ensinar as exigĂȘncias do deus da terra”.
