SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:16
Y dejaron todos los mandamientos del SEÑOR su Dios, y se hicieron vaciadizos, dos becerros; e hicieron bosques, y adoraron a todo el ejército del cielo, y sirvieron a Baal;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God , etc.] Which their idolatry led them to; and indeed he that offends in one point is guilty of them all, ( James 2:10) and made them molten images, [even] two calves ; which they set up at Dan and Bethel, in the times of their first king Jeroboam, ( 1 Kings 13:28,29) and made a grove ; as Ahab, another of their kings, did, ( 1 Kings 16:33) and worshipped all the host of heaven : not the angels, sometimes so called, but, besides the sun and moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus: and served Baal ; which was service to the sun, as Abarbinel interprets it; this was the god of the Zidonians Ahab worshipped, having married a princess of that people, ( 1 Kings 16:31,32).
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.
