2 Kings 17:33-35

International Children’s Bible

³³ The people worshiped the Lord but also served their own gods. They served their gods as the nations did from which they had been brought. ³⁴ Even today they do as they did in the past. They do not worship the Lord. They do not obey his rules and commands. They do not obey the teachings or the commands of the Lord. He gave these commands to the children of Jacob, whom the Lord had named Israel. ³⁵ The Lord had made an agreement with them. He had commanded them, “Do not worship other gods. Do not bow down to them or serve them. Do not give sacrifices to them.
