2 Kings 17:31-33

New International Reader's Version

³¹ The Avvites made statues of the gods named Nibhaz and Tartak. The Sepharvites sacrificed their children in the fire to the gods named Adrammelek and Anammelek. They were the gods of Sepharvaim. ³² So the people of Samaria worshiped the Lord. But they also appointed all kinds of their own people to be their priests. The priests served in the small temples at the high places. ³³ The people worshiped the Lord. But they also served their own gods. They followed the evil practices of the nations they had been taken from.
