Turn from you evil ways. Observe my commands and decrees, in accordance with the entire Law that I commanded your fathers to obey and that I delivered to you through my servants the prophets.

SO the LORD was very angry with Israel and removed them from his presence. (2 Kings 17:18).

So one of the priests who had been exiled from Samaria came to live in Bethel and taught them how to worship the LORD. (2 Kings 17:28).

Rather, worship the LORD your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.
