In chapter 17 of 2 Kings, we have the destruction of the 10 northern tribes of Israel in 722 BC. Israel's king was Hoshea, and he decided to stop sending his yearly tribute money to the new king of Assyria, Shalmaneser, and instead decided to join forces with Egypt. To this act, Shalmaneser came and took Hoshea and placed him in prison, and then laid siege to Samaria, the capital. It took about three years, but Assyria captured it, and exiled the Israelites to various places in Assyria, then the king brought people into Assyria from other countries and religions to inhabit their land. Verses 7-23, the writer makes it clear that Israel was in this mess because they disobeyed the Lord and served other gods, like their very first king, Jeroboam. The new people in the land were attacked by lions which the Lord brought upon them, and they cried out to Shalmaneser, for wisdom as to how to worship the God of this land, so he sent some priests who were in exile, and they came and lived in Bethel, nevertheless, the people worshiped the Lord AND their gods. Plus they called anyone they wanted to be priests instead of following the ways of the Lord. The last verse says, "Even while these people were worshiping the Lord, they were serving their idols. To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did."
