2 Re 17:26

Listen to 2 Re 17:26
26 Fu quindi detto al re d’Assiria: "Le genti che tu hai trasportate e stabilite nelle città della Samaria non conoscono il modo di servire l’iddio del paese; perciò questi ha mandato contro di loro de’ leoni, che ne fanno strage, perch’esse non conoscono il modo di servire l’iddio del paese".

2 Re 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 Re 17:26 In-Context

24 E il re d’Assiria fece venir genti da Babilonia, da Cutha, da Avva, da Hamath e da Sefarvaim, e le stabilì nelle città della Samaria in luogo dei figliuoli d’Israele; e quelle presero possesso della Samaria, e dimorarono nelle sue città.
25 E quando cominciarono a dimorarvi, non temevano l’Eterno; e l’Eterno mandò contro di loro dei leoni, che faceano strage fra loro.
26 Fu quindi detto al re d’Assiria: "Le genti che tu hai trasportate e stabilite nelle città della Samaria non conoscono il modo di servire l’iddio del paese; perciò questi ha mandato contro di loro de’ leoni, che ne fanno strage, perch’esse non conoscono il modo di servire l’iddio del paese".
27 Allora il re d’Assiria dette quest’ordine: "Fate tornare colà uno dei sacerdoti che avete di là trasportati; ch’egli vada a stabilirsi quivi, e insegni loro il modo di servire l’iddio del paese".
28 Così uno dei sacerdoti ch’erano stati trasportati dalla Samaria venne a stabilirsi a Bethel, e insegnò loro come doveano temere l’Eterno.
