2 Kings 17:9 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 17:9

7 For ^aso it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and they had ^bfeared other gods,

8 and ^ahad walked in the statutes of the nations whom the Lord had cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

9 Also the children of Israel secretly did against the Lord their God things that were not right, and they built for themselves¹ high places in all their cities, ^afrom watchtower to fortified city.

10 ^aThey set up for themselves sacred pillars and ^bwooden images ^con every high hill and under every green tree.

11 There they burned incense on all the high places, like the nations whom the Lord had carried away before them; and they did wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger,

12 for they served idols, ^aof which the Lord had said to them, ^b“You shall not do this thing.”

13 Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His ^aprophets, ^bevery seer, saying, ^c“Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.”
