The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and served the Baals, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Yahweh, and didn`t serve him.

Commentators observe that this wasn't just another instance of sin, but a deeper fall. One scholar notes that previously Israel might have mixed worship, but now they "wholly forsook the Lord, and served him not." This complete abandonment of God, rather than just adding other gods, marked a new low in their spiritual rebellion.
