2 Kings 17:25-27

New Life Version

²⁵ At the beginning of their living there, they did not fear the Lord. So the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them. ²⁶ They said to the king of Assyria, “The nations you have carried away to the cities of Samaria do not know the way of the god of the land. So He has sent lions among them to kill them because they do not know the way of the god of the land.”

²⁷ Then the king of Assyria told them, “Take to Samaria one of the religious leaders you brought from there. Let him go and live in Samaria. And let him teach them the way of the god of the land.”
