2 Kings 17:32 meaning and explanation
So the new residents worshiped the LORD, but they also appointed for themselves priests of all sorts to serve in the shrines of the high places.
2 Kings 17:32, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
After Assyria exiled Israel and resettled Samaria with peoples from other lands, these newcomers feared the LORD because lions had killed some of them, and a priest was sent back to teach them. Verse 32 shows the result was not true worship but a mixture: they honored the LORD while appointing priests of every kind for the high places, so the old shrines stayed in use.
