en lieten hunne zonen en dochters door het vuur gaan, en gingen met waarzeggerij en toverij om, en gaven zich over om te doen hetgeen den Heer mishaagde, om Hem te vertoornen.
Staten Vertaling
Ook deden zij hun zonen en hun dochteren door het vuur gaan, en gebruikten waarzeggerijen, en gaven op vogelgeschrei acht, en verkochten zich, om te doen dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN, om Hem tot toorn te verwekken.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire,.... To Baal or Moloch, which were the same, and represented the sun, which, as the above writer observes, presides in the element of fire; this was done either by way of lustration, or so as to be burnt, see 2 Kings 16:3

and used divination and enchantments: to get knowledge of what was to be done at present, or of things to come, neglecting the word of God and his prophets, and acting against the express law of God, Deuteronomy 18:10

and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger; as Ahab their king did, see 1 Kings 21:20, they were as much the servants of sin as if they had sold themselves to be slaves to it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare 2 Kings 16:3 note, and see Leviticus 20:2-5 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 17:17. Sold themselves to do evil — Abandoned themselves to the will of the devil, to work all iniquity with greediness.
