24 E trouxe o rei da Assíria gente de Babilônia, e de Cuta, e de Hava, e de Hamate, e de Sefarvaim, e os pôs nas cidades de Samaria, em lugar dos filhos de Israel; e possuíram a Samaria, e habitaram em suas cidades.
25 E aconteceu ao princípio, quando começaram a habitar ali, que não temendo eles ao SENHOR, enviou o SENHOR contra eles leões que os matavam.
26 Então disseram eles ao rei da Assíria: As nações que tu transportaste e puseste nas cidades de Samaria, não sabem a costume do Deus daquela terra, e ele lançou leões neles, e eis que os matam, porque não sabem a costume do Deus da terra.
27 E o rei da Assíria mandou, dizendo: Levai ali a algum dos sacerdotes que trouxestes dali, e vão e habitem ali, e ensinem-lhes o costume do Deus daquela terra.
28 E veio um dos sacerdotes que haviam transportado de Samaria, e habitou em Betel, e ensinou-lhes como haviam de temer ao SENHOR.
