2 Kings 17:12
World English Bible (WEB)
and they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”
In context
10 and they set up for themselves pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree;
11 and there they burned incense in all the high places, as the nations whom the LORD carried away before them did; and they did wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger;
12 and they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”
13 Yet the LORD testified to Israel and to Judah, by every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”
14 Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck like the neck of their fathers who didn’t believe in the LORD their God.
