2 Kings 17:33

³³So they feared the Lord but also served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

2 Kings 17 chronicles the final demise of the northern kingdom of Israel, culminating in the fall of Samaria to the Assyrians and the deportation of its people. The chapter provides a profound theological explanation for this catastrophe, attributing Israel's destruction to their persistent idolatry and covenant unfaithfulness. It also describes the subsequent repopulation of Samaria with foreign peoples who blended their pagan worship with a superficial reverence for Yahweh, creating a syncretistic religion.
