2 Kings 17:11

Israel Carried Captive to Assyria

10They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.11They burned incense on all the high places like the nations that the LORD had driven out before them. They did wicked things, provoking the LORD to anger. 12They served idols, although the LORD had told them, “You shall not do this thing.”
