three
years

sinned
against the

those

anger

saying
,
Turn
ye from your
evil
ways

keep
my
commandments

law
which I
commanded
your

sent

rejected
his

vanity

vain

after
the
heathen
that were round
about

LORD
had
charged
them, that they should not
do
like them.
strkjv@2Kings:17:16

left
all the

served
Baal
