Instead, he lived like the kings of Israel did. He cast metal images of Baal,

"You are not to make molten gods for yourselves.

So the Israelis practiced what the LORD considered to be evil by worshiping Canaanite deities.

"You are not to turn to their idols or cast gods out of melted metal for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.

As a result, they abandoned the LORD by serving both Baal and Ashtaroth.

In fact, as if it were nothing for him to live like Nebat's son Jeroboam, Ahab married Jezebel, the daughter of King Ethbaal of Sidon. Then he went out to serve Baal and worship him.

from which they brought out the sacred pillars and burned them.

He lived like the kings of Israel, following the example of Ahab's dynasty, since he had married Ahab's daughter, and he practiced what the LORD considered to be evil.

He followed the example of Ahab's dynasty because his mother gave him evil counsel.

I'll punish her for the time she has devoted to the Baals, to whom she burned incense, and for whom she put on her earrings and jewels so she could go after her lovers and forget me," declares the LORD.

I will remove the names of the Baals from her vocabulary they will not be remembered by their names anymore.
