2 Kings 17:29-34

29 But every nation still made gods of its own and put them ^ain the shrines of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities in which they lived. 30 The men of ^bBabylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima, 31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites ^cburned their children in the fire to ^dAdrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of ^eSepharvaim. 32 ^fThey also feared the Lord ^gand appointed from among themselves all sorts of people as priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of ^hthe high places. 33 So they feared the Lord but also served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

34 To this day they do according to the former manner. They do not fear the Lord, and they do not follow the statutes or the rules or the law or the commandment that the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, ⁱwhom he named Israel.
