2 Kings 17:29-34 ▼

29 Howebeit euery nation made them gods of their owne, and put them in the houses of the hygh places whiche the Samaritans had made, euery nation in their cities wherin they dwelt.

30 The men of Babylon made Socoth Benoth, & the men of Cuth made Nergal, & the men of Hamath made Asima,

31 The Auites made Nibbaz and Tharthak: And the Sepharuites burnt their children in fire for Adramelech and Anamelech, the gods of Sepharuaim.

32 And so they feared the Lorde, & made them priestes of the basist of them, which sacrifised for them in the houses of the hygh places.

33 And so they feared the Lord, and serued their owne gods, after the maner of the people whom they caryed thence.

34 And vnto this day they do after the olde maner: and neither feare God, neither do after their ordinaunces and customes, and after the lawe & commaundement which the Lorde commaunded the children of Iacob, whom he called Israel.
