2 Kings 17:15-17
Names of God Bible
15 They rejected his decrees, the promise[a] he made to their ancestors, and the warnings he had given them. They went after worthless idols and became as worthless as the idols. They behaved like the nations around them, although Yahweh had commanded them not to do that. 16 They abandoned all the commands of Yahweh their Elohim:
They made two calves out of cast metal.
They made a pole dedicated to the goddess Asherah.
They prayed to the entire army of heaven.
They worshiped Baal.
17 They sacrificed their sons and daughters by burning them alive.
They practiced black magic and cast evil spells.
They sold themselves by doing what Yahweh considered evil, and they made him furious.
