2 Kings 17:22-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

²² The people of Israel walked in all the sins which Jeroboam did. They did not turn from them ²³ until the Lord removed Israel from his presence, just as he had said through all his servants the prophets. So Israel went to Assyria, into exile from her homeland to this day.

New Settlers in Israel

²⁴ The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Kuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and he settled them in the cities of Samaria in the place of the people of Israel. They took possession of Samaria and lived in its cities.
