2 Kings 17:12 Context
10And they set them vp images, and groues in euery high hill, and vnder euery greene tree. 11And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the Lord caried away before them, and wrought wicked things to prouoke the Lord to anger. 12For they serued idoles, whereof the Lord had said vnto them, Yee shall not doe this thing. 13Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and against Iudah, by all the Prophets, and by all the Seers, saying, Turne ye from your euill wayes, and keepe my commandements, and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my seruants the Prophets. 14Notwithstanding, they would not heare, but hardened their neckes, like to the necke of their fathers, that did not beleeue in the Lord their God.
