2 Kings 17:41

So these nations feared the Lord and also served their carved images . Their children did likewise, and their children’s children — as their fathers did, so they do to this day .

Even while these people were worshiping the Lord, they were serving their idols. To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their ancestors did.

So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children : as did their fathers, so do they unto this day. 2 Kings 16 Books 2 Kings 18
