The Lord blessed Hezekiah (v 18:7)
Assyria invaded Israel
The spiritual adultery of the nation warranted the captivity
Assyria had a resettlement program (17:24-27)
The king of Assyria ordered that foreigners settled in Israel should learn about the LORD (17:27).
But the LORD was not worshiped exclusively. Instead he became one, among many, gods (17:33).
