2 Kings 17:9-11

9The Israelites secretly did things against the Lord their God that were not right. They built high places in all their towns from watchtower to fortified city.

10They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.

11They burned incense there on all the high places just like the nations that the Lord had driven out before them had done. They did evil things, angering the Lord.
