12:017:009 And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were
           not right against the lord their God, and they built them high
           places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to
           the fenced city.

12:017:010 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and
           under every green tree: 

12:017:011 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: 

12:017:012 For they served idols, whereof the lord had said unto them, Ye
           shall not do this thing.

12:017:013 Yet the lord testified against Israel, and against Judah, by
           all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from
           your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes,
           according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and
           which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

12:017:014 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks,
           like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the
           lord their God.

12:017:015 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made
           with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified
           against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and
           went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning
           whom the lord had charged them, that they should not do like
           them.

12:017:016 And they left all the commandments of the lord their God, and
           made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove,
           and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

12:017:017 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through
           the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold
           themselves to do evil in the sight of the lord, to provoke him
           to anger.

12:017:018 Therefore the lord was very angry with Israel, and removed
           them out of his sight:  there was none left but the tribe of
           Judah only.

12:017:019 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the lord their God,
           but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

12:017:020 And the lord rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted
           them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he
           had cast them out of his sight.

12:017:021 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made
           Jeroboam the son of Nebat king:  and Jeroboam drave Israel from
           following the lord, and made them sin a great sin.
