2 Kings 17:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² They served idols. And the Lord had said, “You must not do this.” ¹³ The Lord used every prophet and seer to warn Israel and Judah. He said, “Stop your evil ways. Obey my commands and laws. Follow all the teachings that I commanded your ancestors to obey. I sent you this law through my servants the prophets.”

¹⁴ But the people would not listen. They were stubborn, just as their ancestors had been. Their ancestors did not believe in the Lord their God.
