1 Kings 14:22-24

Good News Translation

²² The people of Judah sinned against the Lord and did more to arouse his anger against them than all their ancestors had done. ^23 (A)They built places of worship for false gods and put up stone pillars and symbols of Asherah to worship on the hills and under shady trees. ^24 (B)Worst of all, there were men and women who served as prostitutes at those pagan places of worship. The people of Judah practiced all the shameful things done by the people whom the Lord had driven out of the land as the Israelites advanced into the country.
