• 2 Kgs 17:24-41 : 24 The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Ava, Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities. 25 At the beginning of their dwelling there, they did not fear the LORD; so the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them. 26 So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the manner of the God of the land; therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they are killing them, because they do not know the manner of the God of the land. 27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Bring one of the priests you brought from there; let him go and dwell there, and let him teach the people the manner of the God of the land. 28 So one of the priests who had been carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD. 29 However, every nation made gods of their own and put them in the shrines of the high places which the Samaritans had made, each nation in the cities where they lived. 30 The men of Babylon made Succoth-Benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima, 31 and the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak; the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 32 They feared the LORD and appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places. 33 They feared the LORD, yet served their own gods, in accordance with the customs of the nations from which they had been carried away. 34 To this day they continue practicing their former habits: they do not fear the LORD, nor do they follow his statutes, or his ordinances, or the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel. 35 The LORD made a covenant with them, and commanded them, saying, You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them. 36 But the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you worship, and to him shall you offer sacrifice. 37 The statutes, the ordinances, the law, and the commandment which he wrote for you, you shall be careful to observe forever; and you shall not fear other gods. 38 The covenant that I have made with you, you shall not forget; nor shall you fear other gods. 39 But you shall fear the LORD your God; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 40 However, they did not listen, but acted according to their previous customs. 41 These nations feared the LORD, yet served their carved images. Their children and their children's children have continued doing as their fathers did, to this day.
• Ezra 4:1-9 : 1 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building the temple to the LORD God of Israel, 2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said to them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as you do; and we have sacrificed to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here. 3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said to them, You have nothing to do with us to build a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us. 4 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building, 5 And hired counselors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. 6 And in the reign of Ahasuerus, at the start of his reign, they wrote to him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 7 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian language, and interpreted in the Syrian language. 8 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this way: 9 Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites, 10 And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side of the river, and at such a time. 11 This is the copy of the letter that they sent to him, even to Artaxerxes the king; Your servants the men on this side of the river, and at such a time. 12 Be it known to the king, that the Jews who came up from you to us are come to Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls and joined the foundations. 13 Be it known now to the king, that, if this city is built, and the walls set up again, then they will not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so you will harm the revenue of the kings. 14 Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not proper for us to see the king's dishonor, therefore we have sent and certified the king; 15 That search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers: so you shall find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause this city was destroyed. 16 We certify the king that, if this city is built again, and the walls set up, by this means you will have no portion on this side of the river. 17 Then the king sent an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and to the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time. 18 The letter which you sent to us has been plainly read before me. 19 And I commanded, and search has been made, and it is found that this city from old times has made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made in it. 20 There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, were paid to them. 21 Give now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not built, until another commandment shall be given from me. 22 Take heed now that you fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings? 23 Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power. 24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
