Causas de la caída del reino de Israel

17 En el año doce de Acaz, rey de Judá, Oseas, hijo de Ela(A), comenzó a reinar sobre Israel en Samaria, y reinó nueve años. 2 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, aunque no como los reyes de Israel que habían sido antes de él. 3 Subió contra él Salmanasar(B), rey de Asiria, y Oseas fue hecho su siervo(C), y le pagaba tributo. 4 Pero el rey de Asiria descubrió una conspiración de[a] Oseas, quien había enviado mensajeros a So, rey de Egipto, y no había pagado tributo al rey de Asiria como había hecho año tras año. Por tanto el rey de Asiria lo detuvo y lo encadenó en la cárcel. 5 Entonces el rey de Asiria invadió todo el país y subió a Samaria(D), y le puso sitio por tres años. 6 En el año noveno de Oseas, el rey de Asiria tomó Samaria(E) y se llevó a Israel al destierro(F) en Asiria, y los puso en Halah y en Habor, río de Gozán(G), y en las ciudades de los medos(H).

7 Esto sucedió porque los israelitas habían pecado contra el Señor su Dios(I), que los había sacado de la tierra de Egipto de bajo la mano de Faraón, rey de Egipto(J), y habían reverenciado a otros dioses(K); 8 y anduvieron en las costumbres de las naciones que el Señor había arrojado de delante de los israelitas(L), y en las costumbres de los reyes de Israel que ellos habían introducido(M). 9 Los israelitas secretamente hicieron cosas[b] que no eran rectas contra el Señor su Dios. Además se edificaron lugares altos en todas sus ciudades, desde las torres de atalaya hasta las ciudades fortificadas(N). 10 Se erigieron pilares sagrados(O) y Aseras[c] sobre toda colina alta y bajo todo árbol frondoso(P). 11 Quemaron incienso allí en todos los lugares altos, como las naciones que el Señor se había llevado al destierro de delante de ellos; e hicieron cosas malas provocando al Señor. 12 Y sirvieron a ídolos, acerca de los cuales el Señor les había dicho: «Ustedes no harán esto(Q)».

13 El Señor amonestaba(R) a Israel y a Judá por medio de todos Sus profetas(S) y de todo vidente(T), diciendo: «Vuélvanse de sus malos caminos y guarden Mis mandamientos, Mis estatutos conforme a toda la ley que ordené a sus padres y que les envié por medio de Mis siervos los profetas(U)». 14 Sin embargo, ellos no escucharon, sino que fueron tercos[d] como sus padres, que no creyeron en el Señor su Dios(V). 15 Desecharon Sus estatutos(W) y el pacto que Él había hecho con sus padres(X), y Sus advertencias con las cuales los había amonestado. Siguieron la vanidad(Y) y se hicieron vanos(Z), y fueron en pos de las naciones que los rodeaban, respecto de las cuales el Señor les había ordenado que no hicieran como ellas(AA). 16 Y abandonaron todos los mandamientos del Señor su Dios, y se hicieron imágenes fundidas de dos becerros(AB); hicieron una Asera[e](AC), adoraron a todo el ejército de los cielos(AD) y sirvieron a Baal(AE). 17 Hicieron pasar por el fuego a sus hijos y a sus hijas(AF). Practicaron la adivinación y los encantamientos(AG), y se entregaron a hacer lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, provocándolo(AH). 18 Y el Señor se enojó en gran manera contra Israel(AI) y los quitó de su presencia. Solo quedó la tribu de Judá(AJ).

19 Tampoco Judá guardó los mandamientos del Señor su Dios(AK), sino que anduvieron en las costumbres[f] que Israel había introducido(AL). 20 Y el Señor desechó a toda la descendencia[g] de Israel, y los afligió y los entregó en mano de saqueadores, hasta que los echó de su presencia(AM). 21 Cuando Él arrancó a Israel de la casa de David(AN), ellos hicieron rey a Jeroboam(AO), hijo de Nabat. Entonces Jeroboam apartó a Israel de seguir al Señor, y les hizo cometer un gran pecado(AP). 22 Los israelitas anduvieron en todos los pecados que había cometido Jeroboam; no se apartaron de ellos, 23 hasta que el Señor quitó a Israel de Su presencia, como Él había hablado por medio de todos Sus siervos los profetas(AQ). E Israel fue llevado de su propia tierra al destierro, a Asiria(AR), hasta hoy.

24 El rey de Asiria trajo hombres de Babilonia, de Cuta, de Ava[h](AS), de Hamat(AT) y de Sefarvaim, y los puso en las ciudades de Samaria en lugar de los israelitas. Y tomaron posesión de Samaria y habitaron en sus ciudades(AU). 25 Al principio de habitar ellos allí, no temieron al Señor(AV), así que el Señor envió leones entre ellos que mataron a muchos de ellos. 26 Entonces hablaron al rey de Asiria: «Las naciones que ha llevado al destierro a las ciudades de Samaria, no conocen la costumbre del dios de la tierra; por eso él ha enviado leones entre ellos, y es la causa por la que los leones los matan porque ellos no conocen la costumbre del dios de la tierra».

27 Y el rey de Asiria ordenó: «Lleven allá a uno de los sacerdotes que ustedes llevaron al destierro, y que él vaya y habite allí; y que les enseñe la costumbre del dios de la tierra». 28 Y vino uno de los sacerdotes que habían llevado al destierro desde Samaria, y habitó en Betel[i], y les enseñó cómo habían de temer al Señor. 29 Pero cada nación continuó haciendo sus propios dioses, y los pusieron en las casas de los lugares altos que los samaritanos habían hecho(AW), cada nación en las ciudades en que habitaban. 30 Y los hombres de Babilonia hicieron a Sucot Benot; los hombres de Cuta(AX) hicieron a Nergal; los hombres de Hamat hicieron a Asima; 31 y los aveos hicieron a Nibhaz y a Tartac; y los de Sefarvaim quemaban a sus hijos en el fuego(AY) como ofrenda a Adramelec(AZ) y Anamelec, dioses de Sefarvaim(BA). 32 También temían al Señor(BB) pero nombraron de entre sí sacerdotes de los lugares altos, que oficiaban por ellos en las casas de los lugares altos(BC). 33 Temían al Señor pero servían a sus dioses conforme a la costumbre de las naciones de donde habían sido llevados al destierro.

34 Hasta el día de hoy siguen haciendo conforme a sus antiguas costumbres. No temen[j] al Señor, ni siguen sus estatutos ni sus ordenanzas ni la ley ni el mandamiento que el Señor había ordenado a los hijos de Jacob, a quien puso el nombre de Israel(BD), 35 con los cuales el Señor hizo un pacto y les ordenó: «No temerán[k] a otros dioses(BE) ni se inclinarán ante ellos, no los servirán ni les ofrecerán sacrificios(BF). 36 Sino que al Señor, que los hizo subir de la tierra de Egipto(BG) con gran poder y con brazo extendido(BH), a Él temerán[l] y ante Él se inclinarán(BI) y a Él ofrecerán sacrificios. 37 Y los estatutos, las ordenanzas, la ley y el mandamiento que Él les escribió(BJ), cuidarán de cumplirlos siempre, y no temerán a otros dioses. 38 Y el pacto que he hecho con ustedes, no lo olvidarán, ni temerán a otros dioses(BK). 39 Sino que al Señor su Dios temerán, y Él los librará de mano de todos sus enemigos».

40 Pero ellos no escucharon, sino que hicieron conforme a su antigua costumbre. 41 Y aunque estas naciones temían al Señor, también servían a sus ídolos(BL); y de la misma manera que hicieron sus padres, así hacen hasta hoy sus hijos y sus nietos.

Hoshea Reigns in Israel

17 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, (A)Hoshea the son of Elah became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years. 2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not as the kings of Israel who were before him. 3 (B)Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him; and Hoshea (C)became his vassal, and paid him tribute money. 4 And the king of Assyria uncovered a conspiracy by Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and brought no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

Israel Carried Captive to Assyria(D)

5 Now (E)the king of Assyria went throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years. 6 (F)In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and (G)carried Israel away to Assyria, (H)and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

7 For (I)so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and they had (J)feared other gods, 8 and (K)had walked in the statutes of the nations whom the Lord had cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. 9 Also the children of Israel secretly did against the Lord their God things that were not right, and they built for themselves [a]high places in all their cities, (L)from watchtower to fortified city. 10 (M)They set up for themselves sacred pillars and (N)wooden images[b] (O)on every high hill and under every green tree. 11 There they burned incense on all the high places, like the nations whom the Lord had carried away before them; and they did wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger, 12 for they served idols, (P)of which the Lord had said to them, (Q)“You shall not do this thing.”

13 Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His (R)prophets, (S)every seer, saying, (T)“Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.” 14 Nevertheless they would not hear, but (U)stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who (V)did not believe in the Lord their God. 15 And they (W)rejected His statutes (X)and His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed (Y)idols, (Z)became idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should (AA)not do like them. 16 So they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, (AB)made for themselves a molded image and two calves, (AC)made a wooden image and worshiped all the (AD)host of heaven, (AE)and served Baal. 17 (AF)And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, (AG)practiced witchcraft and soothsaying, and (AH)sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight; there was none left (AI)but the tribe of Judah alone.

19 Also (AJ)Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. 20 And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel, afflicted them, and (AK)delivered them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them from His (AL)sight. 21 For (AM)He tore Israel from the house of David, and (AN)they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Then Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord, and made them commit a great sin. 22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them, 23 until the Lord removed Israel out of His sight, (AO)as He had said by all His servants the prophets. (AP)So Israel was carried away from their own land to Assyria, as it is to this day.

Assyria Resettles Samaria

24 (AQ)Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, (AR)Ava, Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they took possession of Samaria and dwelt in its cities. 25 And it was so, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear the Lord; therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them. 26 So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations whom you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the rituals of the God of the land; therefore He has sent lions among them, and indeed, they are killing them because they do not know the rituals of the God of the land.” 27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Send there one of the priests whom you brought from there; let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the rituals of the God of the land.” 28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.

29 However every nation continued to make gods of its own, and put them (AS)in the shrines on the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities where they dwelt. 30 The men of (AT)Babylon made Succoth Benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima, 31 (AU)and the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites (AV)burned their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 32 So they feared the Lord, (AW)and from every class they appointed for themselves priests of the [c]high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places. 33 (AX)They feared the Lord, yet served their own gods—according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.

34 To this day they continue practicing the former rituals; they do not fear the Lord, nor do they follow their statutes or their ordinances, or the law and commandment which the Lord had commanded the children of Jacob, (AY)whom He named Israel, 35 with whom the Lord had made a covenant and charged them, saying: (AZ)“You shall not fear other gods, nor (BA)bow down to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them; 36 but the Lord, who (BB)brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and (BC)an outstretched arm, (BD)Him you shall fear, Him you shall worship, and to Him you shall offer sacrifice. 37 And the statutes, the ordinances, the law, and the commandment which He wrote for you, (BE)you shall be careful to observe forever; you shall not fear other gods. 38 And the covenant that I have made with you, (BF)you shall not forget, nor shall you fear other gods. 39 But the Lord your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.” 40 However they did not obey, but they followed their former rituals. 41 (BG)So these nations feared the Lord, yet served their carved images; also their children and their children’s children have continued doing as their fathers did, even to this day.

1599 Geneva Bible

17 3 Hoshea King of Israel is taken, 4 And he and all his realm brought to the Assyrians, 18 for their idolatry. 25 Lions destroy the Assyrians that dwelt in Samaria. 29 Every one worshippeth the god of his nation, 35 Contrary to the commandment of God.

1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, and reigned nine years.

2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, [a]but not as the kings of Israel, that were before him.

3 And Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him, and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

4 And the king of Assyria found treason in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present unto the king of Assyria, [b]as he had done yearly: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and put him in prison.

5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went against Samaria, and besieged it three years.

6 (A)In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away unto Assyria, and put them in Halah, and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the [c]Medes.

7 For when the children of Israel [d]sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and feared other gods,

8 And walked according to the fashions of the Heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel, and after the manners of the kings of Israel, which they used,

9 And the children of Israel had done secretly things that were not upright before the Lord their God, and throughout all their cities had built high places, both from the tower [e]of the watch, to the defensed city,

10 And had made them images and groves upon every high hill, and under every green tree,

11 And there burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen, whom the Lord had taken away before them, and wrought wicked things to anger the Lord,

12 And served idols: whereof the Lord had said unto them, (B)Ye shall do no such thing,

13 Notwithstanding the Lord testified to Israel, and to Judah [f]by all the Prophets, and by all the Seers, saying, (C)Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments, and my statutes, according to all the Law, which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the Prophets.

14 Nevertheless they would not obey, (D)but hardened their necks, like to the necks of their [g]fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God.

15 And they refused his statutes and his covenant, that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies (wherewith he witnessed unto them) and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the heathen that were round about them: concerning whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them.

16 Finally they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made them molten images, (E)even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the [h]host of heaven, and served Baal.

17 And they made their sons and their daughters [i]pass through the fire, and used witchcraft and enchantments, yea, [j]sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to anger him.

18 Therefore the Lord was exceedingly wroth with Israel, and put them out of his sight, and none was left but the tribe of Judah [k]only.

19 Yet Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked according to the fashion of Israel, which they used.

20 Therefore the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hands of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his [l]sight.

21 [m]For he cut off Israel from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat King: and Jeroboam drew Israel away from following the Lord, and made them sin a great sin.

22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he did, and departed not therefrom,

23 Until the Lord put Israel away out of his sight, as he had said [n]by all his servants the (F)Prophets, and carried Israel away out of their land to Assyria unto this day.

24 And the king of Assyria brought folk from Babylon, and from [o]Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: so they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

25 ¶ And at the beginning of their dwelling there, they [p]feared not the Lord: therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which slew them.

26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent Lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the Priests whom ye brought thence, and let him go and dwell there, and teach them the manner of the God [q]of the country.

28 So one of the Priests, which they had carried from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.

29 Howbeit, every nation made their gods, and put them in the houses of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.

30 For the men of Babylon made [r]Succoth Benoth: and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

31 And the Avites made Nibhaz, and Tartak: and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech, and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim.

32 Thus they feared the Lord, and appointed out Priests out of themselves for the high places, who prepared for them sacrifices in the houses of the high places.

33 (G)They [s]feared the Lord, but served their gods after the manner of the nations whom they carried thence.

34 Unto this day they do after the old manner: they neither fear God, neither do after [t]their ordinances, nor after their customs, nor after the Law, nor after the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob (H)whom he named Israel,

35 And with whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, (I)Fear none other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

36 But fear the Lord which brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arm: him fear ye, and worship him and sacrifice to him.

37 Also keep ye diligently the statutes and the ordinances and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, that ye do them continually, and fear not other gods.

38 And forget not the covenant that I have made with you, neither fear ye other gods.

39 But fear the Lord your God, and he will deliver you out of the hands of all your enemies.

40 Howbeit they obeyed not, but did after their old custom.

41 So these [u]nations feared the Lord, and served their images also: so did their children, and their children’s children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
