2 Kings 17:8-12
8
and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
9
And the children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Jehovah their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
10
and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree;
11
and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Jehovah carried away before them; and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;
12
and they served idols, whereof Jehovah had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
