2 Kings 17:31 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 17:31

29 However every nation continued to make gods of its own, and put them ^ain the shrines on the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities where they dwelt.

30 The men of ^aBabylon made Succoth Benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,

31 ^aand the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites ^bburned their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

32 So they feared the Lord, ^aand from every class they appointed for themselves priests of the¹ high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places.

33 ^aThey feared the Lord, yet served their own gods—according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.
