2 Kings 17:11-23

11 and there they made offerings on all the high places, as the nations did whom the Lord carried away before them. And they did wicked things, provoking the Lord to anger, 12 and they served idols, ^aof which the Lord had said to them, “You shall not do this.” 13 Yet the Lord ^bwarned Israel and Judah ^cby every prophet ^dand every seer, saying, ^e“Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, in accordance with all the Law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”

14 But they would not listen, ^fbut were stubborn, as their fathers had been, who did not believe in the Lord their God. 15 They despised his statutes ^gand his covenant that he made with their fathers and the warnings that he gave them. They went after ^hfalse idols ⁱand became false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the ^jLord had commanded them that they should not do like them. 16 And they abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made for themselves metal images of ^ktwo calves; and they ^lmade an Asherah and ^mworshiped all the host of heaven and served ⁿBaal. 17 ^oAnd they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings ^{▼▼Or made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire} and used ^qdivination and ^romens and ^ssold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. None was left but ^tthe tribe of Judah only.

19 ^uJudah also did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced. 20 And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them ^vand gave them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

21 ^wWhen he had torn Israel from the house of David, ^xthey made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord ^yand made them commit great sin. 22 The people of Israel walked in all the sins that Jeroboam did. They did not depart from them, 23 until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight, ^zas he had spoken by all his servants the prophets. ^aaSo Israel was exiled from their own land to Assyria until this day.

2 Kings 18:12

12 because they did not obey the voice of the Lord their God but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded. They neither listened nor obeyed.

2 Kings 21:2

2 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, ^abaccording to the despicable practices of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.

2 Chronicles 13:9

9 ^acHave you not driven out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes ^adfor ordination ^{▼▼Hebrew to fill his hand} with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what are ^afnot gods.

2 Chronicles 28:3

3 and ^aghe made offerings in the ^ahValley of the Son of Hinnom and ^aiburned his sons as an offering, ^{▼▼Hebrew made his sons pass through the fire} according to ^akthe abominations of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.

2 Chronicles 33:2-9

2 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to ^althe abominations of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. 3 For he rebuilt the high places ^amthat his father Hezekiah had broken down, and he erected altars to the Baals, and made ^anAsheroth, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. 4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, ^ao“In Jerusalem shall my name be forever.” 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in ^apthe two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 ^aqAnd he burned his sons as an offering ^arin the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and ^asused fortune-telling and omens and sorcery, and dealt with ^atmediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 7 And ^authe carved image of the idol that he had made he set in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, ^avI will put my name forever, 8 and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land ^awthat I appointed for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the rules given through Moses.” 9 Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the people of Israel.

2 Chronicles 36:14

14 All the officers of the priests and the people likewise were exceedingly unfaithful, following all the abominations of the nations. And they polluted the house of the Lord that he had made holy in Jerusalem.
