SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:12
sirviendo a los ídolos, de los cuales el SEÑOR les había dicho: Vosotros no haréis esto.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. For they served idols , etc.] Baalim, as the Targum; dunghill gods, as the word signifies, as they are often called in Scripture; and Sterculius was one of the names of Saturn, an Heathen deity, which he had, as is supposed, by his finding out the method of making land fruitful with dung f204 : whereof the Lord said unto them, ye shall not do this thing ; (see Exodus 20:3-5,23).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-23 - Though the destruction of the kingdom of the ten tribes was but briefl related, it is in these verses largely commented upon, and the reason of it given. It was destruction from the Almighty: the Assyrian was but the rod of his anger, Isa 10:5. Those that bring sin into a country of family, bring a plague into it, and will have to answer for all the mischief that follows. And vast as the outward wickedness of the worl is, the secret sins, evil thoughts, desires, and purposes of mankin are much greater. There are outward sins which are marked by infamy but ingratitude, neglect, and enmity to God, and the idolatry an impiety which proceed therefrom, are far more malignant. Withou turning from every evil way, and keeping God's statutes, there can be no true godliness; but this must spring from belief of his testimony as to wrath against all ungodliness and unrighteousness, and his merc in Christ Jesus.
