2 Kings 17:14-15
17:14 But they did not pay attention and were as stubborn as their ancestors, who had not trusted the Lord their God.
17:15 They rejected his rules, the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and the laws he had commanded them to obey. They paid allegiance to worthless idols, and so became worthless to the Lord. They copied the practices of the surrounding nations in blatant disregard of the Lord’s command.
