Kings IV 17:9 In-Context

7 For it came to pass that the children of Israel transgressed against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they feared other gods,
8 and walked in the statutes of the nations which the Lord cast out before the face of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel as many as did ,
9 and of the children of Israel as many as secretly practised customs, not as , against the Lord their God:
10 and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. And they made for themselves pillars and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree.
11 And burned incense there on all high places, as the nations whom the Lord removed from before them, and dealt with familiar spirits, and they carved to provoke the Lord to anger.
