Each nation did this in the cities where they lived. 17:30 The people from Babylon made Succoth Benoth, ³  the people from Cuth made Nergal, ⁴  the people from Hamath made Ashima, ⁵  17:31 the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, ⁶  and the Sepharvites burned their sons in the fire as an offering to Adrammelech and Anammelech, ⁷  the gods of Sepharvaim. 17:32 At the same time they worshiped ⁸  the Lord. They appointed some of their own people to serve as priests in the shrines on the high places. ⁹
