2 Kings 17:13
17:13 The Lord solemnly warned Israel and Judah through all his prophets and all the seers, “Turn back from your evil ways; obey my commandments and rules that are recorded in the law. I ordered your ancestors to keep this law and sent my servants the prophets to remind you of its demands.”
2 Kings 17:15
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.
