Let him live there and teach the people the customs of the God of the land.' 28 So one of the priests who had been taken captive from Samaria came back and lived in Bethel. He taught them how they should fear the Lord. 29 But each nation made its own gods and set them up in the shrines of the high places that the Samaritans had made—each nation in the towns where they lived. 30 The men from Babylon made Sukkoth Benoth, the men from Cuthah made Nergal, and the men from Hamath made Ashima. 31 The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire as sacrifices to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 32 They feared the Lord, but they also appointed for themselves all sorts of priests for the high places, who made sacrifices for them in the shrines of the high places. 33 They feared the Lord, but they also served their own gods according to the practices of the nations from which they had been deported. 34 To this day they continue to practice their former customs. They neither fear the Lord nor follow the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments that the Lord gave the descendants of Jacob, whom He named Israel. 35 The Lord made a covenant with them and commanded them, saying, 'Do not fear other gods, do not bow down to them, do not serve them, and do not sacrifice to them.' 36 But fear only the Lord, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm. Worship Him and sacrifice to Him alone. 37 And you shall always observe and follow the statutes, ordinances, the law, and the commandment that He wrote for you. Do not fear other gods. 38 Do not forget the covenant that I made with you, and do not fear other gods. 39 Rather, fear the Lord your God, and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies. 40 But they would not listen. Instead, they continued to act according to their former customs. 41 So these nations feared the Lord, but they also served their carved images. Their children and grandchildren continued to do as their fathers did, even to this day.

The priests who serve the LORD are the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites carry out their responsibilities. 11 Every morning and evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set the rows of bread on the ceremonially clean table and light the golden lampstand and its lamps each evening. We are keeping the charge of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken Him. 12 Now look, God is with us at our head, and His priests with their trumpets are ready to sound the battle cry against you. People of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.
