Tao Bible - 2 Kings 17:24-25

And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.
~ King James version ~

Tao shows no favoritism.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
After the Israelites have been carried off to Assyria, new people are sent to possess their lands. Because they don't worship God, he sends lions to kill some of them off.

Tao has no favored lands nor preferential properties. As Tao is the source of all, everything is of the Way.
