## 2 Kings 17:30 in Context (Verses 27–33 KJV)
 
 [27 ](/kjv/2-kings/17/27) Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/2-kings/17/28) Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/2-kings/17/29) Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put *them* in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/2-kings/17/30) And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
 
 [31 ](/kjv/2-kings/17/31) And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/2-kings/17/32) So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/2-kings/17/33) They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.*
