2 Kings

Continues the story of the divided kingdoms, their decline, and eventual exile.

Chapter 16

KJV - 2 Kings 16:3

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

But he acted like the kings of Israel did, even going so far as to make his son go through fire, which was very wrong and something the Lord didn't want the people to do, since He had thrown those who did such things out from in front of the Israelites.
