2 Kings 17:8 in Context — 2 Kings 17

6 La neuvième année d’Osée, le roi d’Assyrie prit Samarie, et emmena Israël captif en Assyrie. Il les fit habiter à Chalach, et sur le Chabor, fleuve de Gozan, et dans les villes des Mèdes.

7 Cela arriva parce que les enfants d’Israël péchèrent contre l’Éternel, leur Dieu, qui les avait fait monter du pays d’Égypte, de dessous la main de Pharaon, roi d’Égypte, et parce qu’ils craignirent d’autres dieux.

8 Ils suivirent les coutumes des nations que l’Éternel avait chassées devant les enfants d’Israël, et celles que les rois d’Israël avaient établies.

9 Les enfants d’Israël firent en secret contre l’Éternel, leur Dieu, des choses qui ne sont pas bien. Ils se bâtirent des hauts lieux dans toutes leurs villes, depuis les tours des gardes jusqu’aux villes fortes.

10 Ils se dressèrent des statues et des idoles sur toute colline élevée et sous tout arbre vert.
