33 Because that they have forsaken [05800] me, and have worshipped [07812] Ashtoreth [06253] the goddess [0430] of the Zidonians [06722], Chemosh [03645] the god [0430] of the Moabites [04124], and Milcom [04445] the god [0430] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and have not walked [01980] in my ways [01870], to do [06213] that which is right [03477] in mine eyes [05869], and to keep my statutes [02708] and my judgments [04941], as did David [01732] his father [01].
