Context of 2 Kings 17:39
37The statutes and the ordinances, and the Torah and the mitzvah, which He wrote for you, you will take care to do all the time. You are not to fear other gods. 38The covenant that I have made with you, you will not forget. Nor will you fear other gods, but Adonai your God will you fear. Then He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.” 40Yet they did not listen, but they continued their former practices. 41So while these nations feared Adonai, they also worshipped their idols. Their children and grandchildren do as their fathers did to this day.
