2 Kings 17:11

11 et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in more gentium quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum feceruntque verba pessima inritantes Dominum

2 Kings 17:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:11

And there they burnt incense in all the high places
As even the tribe of Judah did, which is observed in all the preceding reigns:

as did the Heathen whom the Lord carried away before them:
the Canaanites, and therefore they might justly expect to be carried captive also:

and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger:
by their several immoralities, but especially their idolatries.

2 Kings 17:11 In-Context

9 et operuerunt filii Israhel verbis non rectis Dominum Deum suum et aedificaverunt sibi excelsa in cunctis urbibus suis a turre custodum usque ad civitatem munitam

10 feceruntque sibi statuas et lucos in omni colle sublimi et subter omne lignum nemorosum

11 et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in more gentium quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum feceruntque verba pessima inritantes Dominum

12 et coluerunt inmunditias de quibus praecepit Dominus eis ne facerent verbum hoc

13 et testificatus est Dominus in Israhel et in Iuda per manum omnium prophetarum et videntum dicens revertimini a viis vestris pessimis et custodite praecepta mea et caerimonias iuxta omnem legem quam praecepi patribus vestris et sicut misi ad vos in manu servorum meorum prophetarum
