Israel Deported To Assyria And The Reasons It Fell

9 And the children of Israel wrapped themselves in things that were not well toward the LORD their God. And they built them Hill altars in all their cities, both in the towers where they kept watch and also in the strong towns. 10 And they made them images and groves on every high hill and under every green tree. 11 And there they sacrificed in the Hill altars, as did the heathen which the LORD carried away at their coming, and wrought wicked deeds, to anger the LORD withal.
