Commentary on 2 Kings 17:32

Theological / Devotional

Feared the Lord. Earlier (v. 25), “they feared not the Lord.” The influence of the priest of Bethel did not make these people true worshipers of the God of heaven. The thought is that the people, along with the worship of other gods, also gave a certain recognition to the national God of Israel.

Lowest of them. They made priests for themselves of all classes of the people, giving little heed to the qualifications that should characterize men devoted to the service of religion.
