In context — 2 Kings 17:26
And they said to the king of Assyria, “The nations whom you exiled and caused to dwell in the cities of Samaria do not know the ordinance of the God of the land . Therefore He has sent lions among them, and behold, they are killing them because they do not know the ordinance of the God of the land.”
