Gill's Notes on the Bible
And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel,.... Meaning the Canaanites, in whose idolatrous ways they walked, and whom they imitated; though their ejection out of the land should have been a warning to them, and they were the more inexcusable, as they were particularly cautioned against walking in them, Leviticus 18:3
and of the kings of Israel, which they had made; their laws and statutes, to worship the golden calves, and not go up to Jerusalem to worship.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Idolatry was worse in the Israelites than in other nations, since it argued not merely folly and a gross carnal spirit, but also black ingratitude Exodus 20:2-3. The writer subdivides the idolatries of the Israelites into two classes, pagan and native - those which they adopted from the nations whom they drove out, and those which their own kings imposed on them. Under the former head would come the great mass of the idolatrous usages described in 2 Kings 17:9-11, 2 Kings 17:17; âthe high placesâ 2Ki 17:9, 2 Kings 17:11; the âimagesâ and âgrovesâ 2 Kings 17:10; the causing of their children to âpass through the fireâ 2 Kings 17:17; and the âworship of the host of heavenâ 2 Kings 17:16 : under the latter would fall the principal points in 2 Kings 17:12, 2Ki 17:16, 2 Kings 17:21.
Which they had made - âWhichâ refers to âstatutes.â The lsraelites had âwalked in the statutes of the pagan, and in those of the kings of Israel, which (statutes) they (the kings) had made.â
