2 Kings 17:27-29

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁷ So the king of Assyria commanded, “Get one of the priests who was exiled from there. He will go and live there and teach the customs of the god of the land.” ²⁸ So one of the priests who had been exiled from Samaria came and lived in Bethel. He was teaching them how they should fear the Lord.

²⁹ But each nation was still making its own gods and setting them in the shrines^[a] of the high places which the Samaritans had made, each nation in their cities where they were dwelling.
