2 Kings 17:29-32

29But each of these nations made its own gods and put them in the shrines on the high places that the people of Samaria had made. Each nation did this in the cities where they lived.

30The people from Babylon made Succoth Benoth, the people from Cuth made Nergal, the people from Hamath made Ashima,

31the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their sons in the fire as an offering to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

32At the same time they worshiped the Lord. They appointed some of their own people to serve as priests in the shrines on the high places.
