Every nation makes gods of their own, and they fear the LORD and also serve their own gods
각 민족이 자기의 신상들을 만들고 여호와도 경외하며 자기의 신들도 섬김
2 Kings 17:29–33: every nation makes gods of their own, and puts them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived. The text says, “The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.” So they fear the LORD, and also make from among themselves priests of the high places for themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. The text says, “They feared the LORD, and also served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.” Where WEB reads “Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim” (17:31), the Korean Revised Version reads 그 신 아드람멜렉과 아남멜렉, their god Adrammelech and Anammelech, and does not name Sepharvaim after the gods’ names (earlier in 17:31 it reads 스발와임 사람들, where WEB reads “the Sepharvites”).

29However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.
30The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32So they feared the LORD, and also made from among themselves priests of the high places for themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
33They feared the LORD, and also served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
