29 And they were making, each nation its gods, and they set them up in the shrines of the high places that the Samaritans had made—each nation in the cities where they dwelt there. 30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 31 and the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 32 And they feared YHWH, and they made for themselves from every class priests of the high places, and they were acting for them in the shrines of the high places. 33 They were fearing YHWH, and they were serving their own gods according to the custom of the nations that they were carried away from there. 34 To this day they continue practicing the former customs; they do not fear YHWH, and they do not follow according to their statutes, or according to their ordinances, or according to the law and the commandment that YHWH had commanded the sons of Jacob, whom He named Israel. 2 Kings 17:29-34, Berean Literal Bible.
