2 Kings 17 24-2 Kings 17 33
Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in place of the Israelites in the cities of Samaria. The settlers took possession of Samaria and lived in its cities.When they first lived there, they did not fear the LORD. So the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.The settlers said to the king of Assyria,“ The nations that you have deported and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them that are killing them because the people don’t know the requirements of the god of the land.”Then the king of Assyria issued a command:“ Send back one of the priests you deported. Have him go and live there so he can teach them the requirements of the god of the land.”So one of the priests they had deported came and lived in Bethel, and he began to teach them how they should fear the LORD.But the people of each nation were still making their own gods in the cities where they lived and putting them in the shrines of the high places that the people of Samaria had made.The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.They feared the LORD, but they also made from their ranks priests for the high places, who were working for them at the shrines of the high places.They feared the LORD, but they also worshiped their own gods according to the practice of the nations from which they had been deported.

Ezra 4:1-5
When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the returned exiles were building a temple for the LORD, the God of Israel,they approached Zerubbabel and the family heads and said to them,“ Let us build with you, for we also worship your God and have been sacrificing to him since the time King Esar-haddon of Assyria brought us here.”But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the other heads of Israel’s families answered them,“ You may have no part with us in building a house for our God, since we alone will build it for the LORD, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia has commanded us.”Then the people who were already in the land discouraged the people of Judah and made them afraid to build.They also bribed officials to act against them to frustrate their plans throughout the reign of King Cyrus of Persia and until the reign of King Darius of Persia.
