2 Kings 17:25, 27-28, 33

At the beginning of their living there, they did not fear the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them which killed some of them.

Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Take there one of the priests whom you carried away into exile and let him go and live there; and let him teach them the custom of the god of the land.” So one of the priests whom they had carried away into exile from Samaria came and lived at Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

They feared the LORD and served their own gods according to the custom of the nations from among whom they had been carried away into exile.
