Et firent là des encensements, dans tous les hauts lieux, comme les nations que l'Éternel avait chassées devant eux. Ils firent des choses mauvaises, pour irriter l'Éternel,
Et là ils brûlèrent des parfums sur tous les hauts lieux, comme les nations que l'Eternel avait chassées devant eux, et ils firent des choses mauvaises, par lesquelles ils irritèrent l'Eternel.
Ils avaient fait là des encensements dans tous les hauts lieux, à l'imitation des nations que l'Eternel avait chassées de devant eux; et ils avaient fait des choses méchantes pour irriter l'Eternel.

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.
