The king of Assyria places people in the cities of Samaria, and one of the priests carried away from Samaria comes and lives in Bethel
앗수르 왕이 사람을 옮겨다가 사마리아 여러 성읍에 두고 사로잡혀간 제사장 하나가 와서 벧엘에 거함
2 Kings 17:24–28: the king of Assyria brings people from Babylon, from Cuthah, from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and places them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possess Samaria and live in its cities. The text says, “So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear the LORD. Therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.” Therefore they speak to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations which you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria don’t know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them; and behold, they kill them, because they don’t know the law of the god of the land.” Then the king of Assyria commands, saying, “Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.” So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria comes and lives in Bethel, and teaches them how they should fear the LORD. Neither edition names this king of Assyria. Where WEB reads “they spoke” (17:26), the Korean Revised Version reads 혹이, someone.

24The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, from Cuthah, from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.
25So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear the LORD. Therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations which you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria don’t know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them; and behold, they kill them, because they don’t know the law of the god of the land.”
27Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.”
28So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
