2 Kings 17:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.

²⁶ And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

²⁷ And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.
