2 Kings 17:24-41The story of how the northern kingdom became the land of Samaria is told here. A syncretistic Israel was taken away and replaced by another syncretistic people. The LORD sent lions because the people did not fear him at all. When they added the LORD to their pantheon, not much else changed. Much like many countries today, it is a mixture of religious allegiances. Many today even applaud that arrangement. Religious plurality to them is the ideal. But some day, Jesus will return. There will only be room for one God and one king.
LORD, restore our loyalty to you – the only God.
