2 Kings 17:15-17
Revised Standard Version
15 They despised his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and the warnings which he gave them. They went after false idols, and became false, and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had commanded them that they should not do like them. 16 And they forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made for themselves molten images of two calves; and they made an Ashe′rah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Ba′al. 17 And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings,[a] and used divination and sorcery, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.
