2 Kings 17:7-15
(7) Now this came about because the sons of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and they had feared other gods
(8) and walked in the customs of the nations whom the LORD had driven out before the sons of Israel, and in the customs of the kings of Israel which they had introduced.
(9) The sons of Israel did things secretly which were not right against the LORD their God. Moreover, they built for themselves high places in all their towns, from watchtower to fortified city.
(10) They set for themselves sacred pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree,
(11) and there they burned incense on all the high places as the nations did which the LORD had carried away to exile before them; and they did evil things provoking the LORD.
(12) They served idols, concerning which the LORD had said to them, "You shall not do this thing."
(13) Yet the LORD warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets."
(14) However, they did not listen, but stiffened their neck like their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God.
(15) They rejected His statutes and His covenant which He made with their fathers and His warnings with which He warned them And they followed vanity and became vain, and went after the nations which surrounded them, concerning which the LORD had commanded them not to do like them.
(16) They forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah and worshiped all the host of heaven and served Baal.
(17) Then they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and practiced divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him.
(18) So the LORD was very angry with Israel and removed them from His sight; none was left except the tribe of Judah.
(19) Also Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the customs which Israel had introduced.
(20) The LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them and gave them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them out of His sight.
2 Kings 17:24-25
(24) The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sephar-vaim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the sons of Israel. So they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.
(25) At the beginning of their living there, they did not fear the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them which killed some of them.
2 Kings 17:29-30
(29) But every nation still made gods of its own and put them in the houses of the high places which the people of Samaria had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.
(30) The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,
(31) and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
(32) They also feared the LORD and appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who acted for them in the houses of the high places.
(33) They feared the LORD and served their own gods according to the custom of the nations from among whom they had been carried away into exile.
(34) To this day they do according to the earlier customs: they do not fear the LORD, nor do they follow their statutes or their ordinances or the law, or the commandments which the LORD commanded the sons of Jacob, whom He named Israel;
(35) with whom the LORD made a covenant and commanded them, saying, "You shall not fear other gods, nor bow down yourselves to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them.
(36) "But the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, Him you shall fear, and to Him you shall bow yourselves down, and to Him you shall sacrifice.
(37) "The statutes and the ordinances and the law and the commandment which He wrote for you, you shall observe to do forever; and you shall not fear other gods.
(38) "The covenant that I have made with you, you shall not forget, nor shall you fear other gods.
(39) "But the LORD your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies."
