“Now this came about because the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and they had feared other gods” (II Kings 17:7).
“Ikawa hivi kwa sababu wana wa Israeli walikuwa wametenda dhambi juu ya Bwana, Mungu wao, aliyewatoa katika nchi ya Misri, watoke chini ya mkono wa Farao, mfalme wa Misri, wakaogopa miungu mingine” (2 Wafalme 17) :7).
