2 Kings17:11

11 And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them ; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger .

Not onely to the Lord, which was practised and tolerated, sometimes in the Kingdom of Iudah; but also to the Idols or Baals of the Heathen.

For the same sins; by whose Example they should have taken warning.

i. e. In despight and contempt of God, and his Authority and Command, as the next Verse shews.
