2-Koningen 17:9

De Israëlieten hadden bedacht wat tegenover de Here, hun God, niet recht was: zij hadden zich offerhoogten gebouwd in al hun steden, van de wachttoren af tot de versterkte stad toe;

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.
