Context — Samaria Resettled
31the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
32So the new residents worshiped the LORD, but they also appointed for themselves priests of all sorts to serve in the shrines of the high places.
33They worshiped the LORD, but they also served their own gods according to the customs of the nations from which they had been carried away.
34To this day they are still practicing their former customs. None of them worship the LORD or observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments that the LORD gave the descendants of Jacob, whom He named Israel. 35For the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites and commanded them, “Do not worship other gods or bow down to them; do not serve them or sacrifice to them.Cross References

2 Kings 17:33 Summary
[This verse shows that some people were trying to worship the LORD, but they were also still following their old customs and serving other gods. This is a problem because we cannot serve two masters, as Jesus said in Matthew 6:24. We need to fully surrender to God's ways and observe His statutes, as stated in Deuteronomy 12:3. By doing so, we can have a deeper relationship with Him and avoid the consequences of trying to combine our faith with other beliefs.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to worship the LORD but also serve other gods?
This verse highlights the problem of syncretism, where people try to combine their old beliefs with their new faith, as seen in 2 Kings 17:33, which is also warned against in Deuteronomy 12:3 and Jeremiah 25:6.
How can people claim to worship the LORD but still follow their old customs?
This behavior is a result of not fully surrendering to God's ways, as stated in 2 Kings 17:34, and is similar to the situation in Judges 2:10-12, where the Israelites forgot the LORD and followed other gods.
Is it possible to truly worship the LORD while still serving other gods?
No, according to the Bible, we cannot serve two masters, as Jesus said in Matthew 6:24, and this is reinforced in 1 Corinthians 10:21-22, which warns against trying to combine the worship of God with the worship of idols.
What are the consequences of worshiping the LORD but also serving other gods?
The consequences are severe, as seen in 2 Kings 17:34-35, where it is stated that the people did not worship the LORD or observe His statutes, and this is similar to the warnings given in Deuteronomy 8:19-20 and Psalm 81:11-12.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I might be trying to combine my faith with other beliefs or practices, and how can I fully surrender to God's ways?
- How can I ensure that I am worshiping the LORD with my whole heart, and not just going through the motions or trying to appease other gods?
- What are some customs or traditions in my life that might be hindering my relationship with God, and how can I replace them with biblical practices?
- In what ways can I be more intentional about observing the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments that the LORD has given me, as stated in 2 Kings 17:34?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 17:33
They feared the Lord, and served their own gods,.... Worshipped both: after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence; the Israelites, whom they had carried captive from Samaria;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 17:33
So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:33
They feared the Lord; they worshipped God externally in that way which the Israelites used. Served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence: these words belong, either, 1. To both the foregoing branches, and to the Israelites; and then the sense is, they trod in the steps of their predecessors, the Israelites, (who, in regard of their several tribes, are both here and elsewhere called nations,) who did, many of them, worship both God in their calves, and Baal too. Or, 2. To the last branch only; but then the words must be otherwise rendered, they served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from which they brought, or carried them, or from whence they (these new inhabitants) were brought, i.e. each of them served the god of the country or place whence he was brought, as is related above, ,31. But these nations could not so properly be said to be carried away, or to be carried away captive, (as this Hebrew word signifies,) as the Israelites; and therefore the former interpretation seems more proper.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:33
2 Kings 17:33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.Ver. 33. They feared the Lord.] Religione mixta et interimistica. See 2 Kings 17:32. And served their own gods.] So Redwald, the first king of the East Saxons that was baptized, had in the same church one altar for Christian religion, and another for sacrifice to devils. The Papists do no less. Neither doth their distinction of Latria and Dulia excuse them. Camden.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:33
(33) They feared . . . gods.—Literally, Jehovah were they fearing, and their own gods were they serving. The verse recapitulates 28-32. Whom they carried away from thence.—Rather, whence they had been carried away. Literally, whence men carried them away. The meaning is: according to the customs of the cities from which Sargon had deported them.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:33
Verse 33. They feared the Lord, and served their own gods] They did not relinquish their own idolatry but incorporated the worship of the true God with that of their idols. They were afraid of Jehovah, who had sent lions among them; and therefore they offered him a sort of worship that he might not thus afflict them: but they served other gods, devoted themselves affectionately to them, because their worship was such as gratified their grossest passions, and most sinful propensities.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 17:33
33. They feared the Lord] It seems almost as if the writer had repeated this phrase here and in the previous verse, and afterwards in verse 41, in mockery of this spurious reverence on which Jehovah could set no value. after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence] R.V. from among whom they had been carried away. The literal meaning of the latter words is ‘from whence [men] carried them away’. The sense of A.V. has been given to the words because it was not noticed that the nominative to the verb was some indefinite noun, ‘men’, referring to the Assyrian power which had brought these foreigners from their homes and planted them in Samaria.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 17:33
Understand the passage thus: “They (the colonists) served their own gods after the manner of the nations from which they (the government) removed them,” i. e., after the manner of their own countrymen at home.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:33
33. Feared the Lord, and served their own gods — This was no inconsistency for them, as it would have been in a true Israelite, who recognised no god but Jehovah.
