Barnes' Notes
This caution is based upon the notion generally entertained in the ancient pagan world, that each country had its own tutelary deities whom it would be perilous to neglect; compare I Kings 20:23; II Kings 17:26. Israel was to shun such superstitions as unworthy of the elect people of God.
