2 Kings 17:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ but Israel wouldn’t listen. The people were as stubborn as their ancestors and refused to believe in the Lord their God. ¹⁵ They rejected his laws and the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and despised all his warnings. In their foolishness they worshiped heathen idols despite the Lord’s stern warnings. ¹⁶ They defied all the commandments of the Lord their God and made two calves from molten gold. They made detestable, shameful idols and worshiped Baal and the sun, moon, and stars.
