2 Kings 17:24

Israel Assyria Avva Babylon Kuta Hamat Samaria Sefarvaim

²² The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam had committed and did not turn away from them.

²³ Finally, the LORD removed Israel from His presence, as He had declared through all His servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their homeland into Assyria, where they are to this day.

Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took possession of Samaria and lived in its towns.

²⁵ Now when the settlers first lived there, they did not worship the LORD, so He sent lions among them, which killed some of them.

²⁶ So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The peoples that you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the God of the land. Because of this, He has sent lions among them, which are indeed killing them off.”
