And they feared the Lord, yet served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

KJV

They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

Commentary

They feared the Lord, and served their own gods,.... Worshipped both: after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence; the Israelites, whom they had carried captive from Samaria; they worshipped the Lord in their idols, as they did, who pretended to worship God in the calves; so they worshipped the supreme God in and by their idols, and made use of them as mediators with him.
