SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:11
y quemasen allí incienso en todos los altos a la manera de los gentiles, los cuales el SEŅOR había traspuesto delante de ellos, e hiciesen cosas muy malas para provocar a ira al SEŅOR,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And there they burnt incense in all the high places , etc.] As even the tribe of Judah did, which is observed in all the preceding reigns: as did the Heathen whom the Lord carried away before them : the Canaanites, and therefore they might justly expect to be carried captive also: and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger : by their several immoralities, but especially their idolatries.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-23 - Though the destruction of the kingdom of the ten tribes was but briefl related, it is in these verses largely commented upon, and the reason of it given. It was destruction from the Almighty: the Assyrian was but the rod of his anger, Isa 10:5. Those that bring sin into a country of family, bring a plague into it, and will have to answer for all the mischief that follows. And vast as the outward wickedness of the worl is, the secret sins, evil thoughts, desires, and purposes of mankin are much greater. There are outward sins which are marked by infamy but ingratitude, neglect, and enmity to God, and the idolatry an impiety which proceed therefrom, are far more malignant. Withou turning from every evil way, and keeping God's statutes, there can be no true godliness; but this must spring from belief of his testimony as to wrath against all ungodliness and unrighteousness, and his merc in Christ Jesus.
