13 Thus they abandoned Jehovah and took up serving Baʹal and the Ashʹto·reth+ images.*

7 So the sons of Israel did what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes, and they were forgetful of Jehovah their God+ and went serving the Baʹals+ and the sacred poles.*+

31 And it came about that, [as if it were] the most trivial+ thing for him to walk in the sins of Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, he now took as wife+ Jezʹe·bel+ the daughter of Eth·baʹal the king of the Si·doʹni·ans+ and began to go and serve Baʹal*+ and to bow down to him.

19 And now send, collect together all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel+ and also the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baʹal+ and the four hundred prophets of the sacred pole,+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.”+

16 And they kept leaving all the commandments+ of Jehovah their God and proceeded to make for themselves molten statues,+ two calves,+ and to make a sacred pole,+ and they began to bow down to all the army of the heavens+ and to serve Baʹal;+

13 And I will hold an accounting+ against her for the days of the Baʹal images*+ to which she kept making sacrificial smoke,+ when she kept decking herself with her ring and her ornament+ and kept going after her passionate lovers,+ and I was the one that she forgot,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.
