“And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.”
King James Version (KJV)
2:13 Baal and Ashtaroth - That is, the sun and moon, whom many Heathens worshipped, tho' under divers names; and so they ran into that error which God had so expressly warned them against, #Deut 4:19|. Baalim signifies lords, and Ashtaroth, blessed ones, he - gods and she - gods. When they forsook Jehovah, they had gods many and lords many, as a luxuriant fancy pleased to multiply them.
And they forsooke the Lord, and serued Baal and Ashtaroth.
