2 Kings 17:8 Summary

[This verse means that the Israelites started doing things the way the other nations around them did, instead of following God's ways. They did this even though God had told them not to, as seen in Exodus 23:24. As a result, they got into all sorts of trouble and sin. We can learn from their example by being careful not to adopt the sinful practices of the world around us, and instead following God's commands, as stated in Romans 12:2.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to walk in the customs of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites?

This refers to the Israelites adopting the sinful practices and idolatrous ways of the nations that God had previously destroyed, as seen in Deuteronomy 18:9-12, which warns against such practices.

How did the kings of Israel introduce practices that led the people astray?

The kings of Israel introduced idolatrous practices, such as worshiping at high places and setting up Asherah poles, as mentioned in 1 Kings 12:31 and 1 Kings 13:33, which led the people away from the true worship of God.

What is the significance of the Israelites following the customs of the nations and the practices of their kings?

This signifies the Israelites' rebellion against God's command to be separate and holy, as stated in Leviticus 20:26, and their failure to trust in God's provision and protection, as seen in Psalm 106:35-36.

How does this verse relate to the overall theme of 2 Kings 17?

This verse explains the reasons behind God's judgment on Israel, as stated in 2 Kings 17:7, and highlights the consequences of their disobedience, which ultimately led to their exile, as described in 2 Kings 17:6.

Reflection Questions

  2. How can I ensure that I am not introducing practices or influences into my life that could lead others astray?
  3. What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's provision and protection, rather than relying on my own strength or the ways of the world?
  4. In what ways can I be a positive influence on those around me, pointing them towards God's truth and love?

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:8

(8) Statutes of the heathen . . . and of the kings of Israel.—The national guilt was twofold.

Exodus 12:14, “statutes;” Leviticus 20:23, “manners;” 1 Kings 3:3, “ordinance.”) Which they had made—i.e., the statutes which the kings of Israel had made. (Comp. 2 Kings 17:19 b.)
