John Gill Commentary 2 Kings 17:11

"and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Jehovah carried away before them; and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;" — 2 Kings 17:11 (ASV)

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 committed wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger :
by their several immoralities, but especially their idolatries.
