2 KINGS—NOTE ON 2 Kings 17:24 the king of Assyria brought people... and placed them in the cities of Samaria. Having sent the Israelites into exile, the Assyrians bring people from other nations to resettle the land. These new inhabitants of Israel thought they could worship the God of Israel while also serving their own gods (vv. 2 Kings 17:33, 2 Kings 17:40). But because he is the only God who truly exists, the Lord will not allow the worship of any false god (vv. 2 Kings 17:34).
