2 Kings 17:36-38

Living Bible

^35-36 For the Lord had made a contract with them—that they were never to worship or make sacrifices to any heathen gods. They were to worship only the Lord who had brought them out of the land of Egypt with such tremendous miracles and power. ³⁷ The descendants of Jacob were to obey all of God’s laws and never worship other gods.

³⁸ For God had said, “You must never forget the covenant I made with you; never worship other gods.
