2 Kings 17:36-40

But the Lord, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, Him you shall fear, and to Him you shall bow down, and to Him you shall sacrifice.

And the statutes, the ordinances, the Law, and the commandment which He wrote for you, you shall take care to do always; and you shall not fear other gods.

The covenant that I have made with you, you shall not forget, nor shall you fear other gods.

But you shall fear the Lord your God; and He will save you from the hand of all your enemies.”

However, they did not listen, but they kept acting in accordance with their earlier custom.
