Context — Samaria Resettled

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.

36Instead, worship the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm. You are to bow down to Him and offer sacrifices to Him. 37And you must always be careful to observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments He wrote for you. Do not worship other gods.

Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield him. Instead, you must surely kill him. Your hand must be the first against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people. Stone him to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you. If, regarding one of the cities the LORD your God is giving you to inhabit, you hear it said that wicked men have arisen from among you and have led the people of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you have not known), then you must inquire, investigate, and interrogate thoroughly. And if it is established with certainty that this abomination has been committed among you, you must surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword. Devote to destruction all its people and livestock. And you are to gather all its plunder in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. The city must remain a mound of ruins forever, never to be rebuilt. Nothing devoted to destruction shall cling to your hands, so that the LORD will turn from His fierce anger, grant you mercy, show you compassion, and multiply you as He swore to your fathers, because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all His commandments I am giving you today and doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.

2 Kings 17:35 Summary

[This verse reminds us that God made a promise with the Israelites to be their God, and in return, He asked them to worship only Him and not other gods. This is still true for us today, as we are called to exclusive worship of God, just like the Israelites. As it says in Exodus 20:3-5, we should not have any other gods before the one true God. We can apply this to our lives by being mindful of what we prioritize and worship, and making sure that God is at the center of our lives, as encouraged in Matthew 22:37-38.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to make a covenant with God?

A covenant is a promise or agreement between God and His people, as seen in 2 Kings 17:35, where God commands the Israelites not to worship other gods, and in Exodus 19:5, where God establishes a covenant with the Israelites to be their God if they obey Him.

Why did God command the Israelites not to worship other gods?

God commanded the Israelites not to worship other gods because He is a jealous God who desires exclusive worship, as stated in Exodus 20:3-5, and because worshiping other gods would lead the Israelites away from the one true God and into sin.

How does this verse relate to our lives today?

This verse reminds us that, as followers of God, we are called to exclusive worship of Him, just like the Israelites, and that we should not divide our allegiance between God and other things, as warned in Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13.

What is the significance of the command not to bow down to other gods?

The command not to bow down to other gods, as seen in 2 Kings 17:35, is a call to physical and spiritual surrender to the one true God, and a reminder that our worship should be directed solely to Him, as stated in Deuteronomy 6:13 and Romans 11:4.

Reflection Questions

What are some 'other gods' that I may be worshiping in my life, and how can I redirect my worship to the one true God?
How can I ensure that I am not serving other gods, such as money, status, or power, and instead serving the Lord with all my heart?
What does it mean to 'bow down' to God in my daily life, and how can I practically demonstrate my worship and surrender to Him?
How can I be careful to observe God's statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments in my life, as warned in Deuteronomy 8:11 and Psalm 119:55-56?
