2 Koningen 17:9

Tegenover Jahweh, hun God, hadden de Israëlieten zich vele ongerechtigheden veroorloofd. In al hun steden, zowel in de wachttorens als in de vestingen, hadden zij offerhoogten gebouwd,

And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
