Verse 10 is found in chapter 17 of 2 Kings. The narrator interrupts the political sequence to explain why Israel went into exile.

The fall of Samaria is thus presented as a theological event before being merely military. God had repeatedly warned the people through his prophets, but Israel persisted in its practices. Exile is interpreted as the accumulated consequence of a prolonged breach of the covenant.

e si aveano rizzate statue, e boschi, sopra ogni alto colle, e sotto ogni albero verdeggiante.
E levantaram, para si, estátuas e imagens do bosque, em todos os altos outeiros, e debaixo de todas as árvores verdes.
在各高岡上、各青翠樹下立柱像和 亞舍拉 ;
