Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do [that which is] right in mine eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments, as [did] David his father.

Because that they have forsaken {H5800} me, and have worshipped {H7812} Ashtoreth {H6253} the goddess {H430} of the Zidonians {H6722}, Chemosh {H3645} the god {H430} of the Moabites {H4124}, and Milcom {H4445} the god {H430} of the children {H1121} of Ammon {H5983}, and have not walked {H1980} in my ways {H1870}, to do {H6213} that which is right {H3477} in mine eyes {H5869}, and to keep my statutes {H2708} and my judgments {H4941}, as did David {H1732} his father {H1}.

I will do this because they have abandoned me and worshipped 'Ashtoret the goddess of the Tzidoni, K'mosh the god of Mo'av and Milkom the god of the people of 'Amon. They haven't lived according to my ways, so that they could do what was right in my view and obey my regulations and rulings, as did David his father.

For they have forsaken Me to worship Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked in My ways, nor done what is right in My eyes, nor kept My statutes and judgments, as Solomon’s father David did.
