2 Kings 17:10-12

Amplified Bible

¹⁰ They set up for themselves sacred pillars (memorial stones) and ^[a]Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree. ¹¹ There they burned incense on all the high places, just as the [pagan] nations whom the Lord had deported before them; and they did evil and contemptible things, provoking the Lord [to anger]. ¹² And they served idols, of which the Lord had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”
