- Aholah:
- The Israelites, in addition to their former gross idolatries, received the impure idolatrous worship of the Assyrians, who became their neighbours by the conquest of Syria. "But hast doneª° evilª° above all¹¹ that¹ were¹ beforeª thee: for thou hast gone²°¹ and madeª° thee otherª gods,ª and molten images,ª to provoke me to anger,ª° and hast castª° me behindª thy back:ª" {1Kg 14:9} + "And he shall give²° Israel² upª°¹¹ becauseª of the sinsª of Jeroboam,ª who¹ did sin,ª° and who¹ made Israel² to sin.ª°¹¹" {1Kg 14:16} + "And he didª° evilª in the sightª of the LORD,ª and walked²°¹ in the wayª of his father,ª and in his sinª wherewith¹ he made Israel² to sin.ª°¹¹" {1Kg 15:26} + "Because¹ of the sinsª of Jeroboamª which¹ he sinned,ª° and which¹ he made Israel² sin,ª°¹¹ by his provocationª wherewith¹ he provoked¹¹ the LORDª Godª of Israelª to anger.²°" {1Kg 15:30} + "And it came to pass,¹ as if it had been a light thingª° for him to walk²°¹ in the sinsª of Jeroboamª the sonª of Nebat,ª that he tookª° to wifeª¹ Jezebelª the daughterª of Ethbaalª kingª of the Zidonians,ª and went²°¹ and servedª°¹ Baal,ª and worshippedª° him. ... And he reared upª° an altarª for Baalª in the houseª of Baal,ª which¹ he had builtª° in Samaria.ª" {1Kg 16:31-32} + "And he did veryª abominablyª° in followingª²°¹ idols,ª according to all¹ [things] as¹ didª° the Amorites,ª whom¹ the LORDª cast outª° beforeª¹ the childrenª of Israel.ª" {1Kg 21:26} + "For [so] it was,¹ that¹ the childrenª of Israelª had sinnedª° against the LORDª their God,ª which had brought them upª°¹ out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª from under¹¹ the handª of Pharaohª kingª of Egypt,ª and had fearedª° otherª gods,ª ... Therefore the LORDª was very² angryª°¹ with Israel,ª and removedª° them out of¹¹ his sight:ª there was none¹ leftª° but¹ the tribeª of Judahª only.¹" {2Kg 17:7-18}
