2 Kings 17:16-18

16And they abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God and made for themselves cast metal images: 1two calves. And they 2made an 3Asherah, and 4worshiped all the heavenly 5lights, and 6served Baal. 17Then 7they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and they 8practiced divination and interpreting omens, and 9gave themselves over to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him. 18So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and He 10removed them from His 11sight; 12no one was left except the tribe of Judah.
