2 Kings 17:40

38 Do not forget the covenant I have made with you. Do not worship other gods,

39 but worship the LORD your God, and He will deliver you from the hands of all your enemies.”

But they would not listen, and they persisted in their former customs.

41 So these nations worshiped the LORD but also served their idols, and to this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did.
