Verse 35 is found in chapter 17 of 2 Kings. After the deportation, the king of Assyria brings foreign populations to Samaria. These communities experience attacks by lions and request a priest to teach them the worship of the God of the land. The result is religious mixture: they fear the Lord but continue serving their own gods. The section explains, from the narrator’s perspective, the origin of a population whose religious identity will later become problematic. The issue is not simply the presence of foreigners, but a religion that does not abandon previous practices. The chapter concludes by reaffirming that the population did not truly follow the Lord.

Und er machte einen Bund mit ihnen und gebot ihnen und sprach: Fürchtet keine andern Götter und betet sie nicht an und dienet ihnen nicht und opfert ihnen nicht;
Con los cuales había Jehová hecho pacto, y les mandó, diciendo: No temeréis a otros dioses, ni los adoraréis, ni les serviréis, ni les sacrificaréis:
Jehová había hecho un pacto con ellos y les había ordenado: «No teman a otros dioses, ni se inclinen ante ellos, ni los sirvan, ni les ofrezcan sacrificios.
L'Eternel avait fait alliance avec eux, et leur avait donné cet ordre: Vous ne craindrez point d'autres dieux; vous ne vous prosternerez point devant eux, vous ne les servirez point, et vous ne leur offrirez point de sacrifices.
co’ quali il Signore avea fatto patto, e a’ quali avea comandato, e detto: Non riverite altri dii e non li adorate, e non servite, nè sacrificate loro;
Contudo o SENHOR tinha feito uma aliança com eles, e lhes ordenara, dizendo: Não temereis a outros deuses, nem vos inclinareis diante deles, nem os servireis, nem lhes sacrificareis.
耶和華曾與他們立約,吩咐他們說:「不可敬畏別神,不可跪拜事奉它們,也不可向它們獻祭。
