One of the foreign gods worshipped by the Cuthites.
After Assyria destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Israel, it forcibly relocated various foreign peoples to Samaria, and this was a foreign god worshipped by one of those peoples.
2 Kings 17:27Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Send there one of the priests whom you brought from there, and let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the custom of the god of the land.”2 Kings 17:28So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.2 Kings 17:29However, every nation continued to make gods of its own and put them in the shrines on the high places which the people of Samaria had made, every nation in the cities where they dwelt.2 Kings 17:30The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth; the men of Cuth made Nergal; the men of Hamath made Ashima;2 Kings 17:31and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.2 Kings 17:32So they feared the Lord, and from among themselves they made priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places.
