en wierookten aldaar op alle hoogten, gelijk de volken, die de Heer voor hen weggedreven had, en bedreven kwade dingen, met welke zij den Heer vertoornden,
En zij hadden daar gerookt op alle hoogten, gelijk de heidenen, die de HEERE van hun aangezichten weggevoerd had; en zij hadden kwade dingen gedaan, om den HEERE tot toorn te verwekken.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And there they burnt incense in all the high places,.... As even the tribe of Judah did, which is observed in all the preceding reigns:
as did the Heathen whom the Lord carried away before them: the Canaanites, and therefore they might justly expect to be carried captive also:
and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger: by their several immoralities, but especially their idolatries.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The burning of incense was a common religious practice among the Egyptians and the Babylonians; and from the present passage we gather that the Canaanite nations practiced it as one of their ordinary sacred rites. The Israelites are frequently reproached with it Hosea 2:13; Hosea 4:13; Isaiah 65:3.
