Idolatry was a significant issue in ancient Israel, as the people often adopted the religious practices of neighboring nations, contrary to the first and second commandments (Exodus 20:3-4). The presence of idols indicates a departure from worshiping Yahweh alone, which was a recurring problem throughout Israel's history (Judges 2:11-13).

Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Isaiah 2How does the severe condemnation of these idolatries in Ezekiel 8 align or conflict with other biblical accounts of tolerating foreign gods?

The historians declare that both Uzziah and Jotham maintained the worship of Jehovah and disallowed idolatry (2 Kings 15:3, 34; 2 Chronicles 26:4; 2 Chronicles 27:2), so that we must regard the idol-worship of the time as an irregular and private practice.
