This speaks of evil as if it were an object that a person could add to and make bigger. Alternate translation: "continued doing what Yahweh said was evil" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# Ashtoreths

# They abandoned Yahweh and no longer worshiped him
|
|

The author basically said the same thing twice for emphasis. These can be combined. Alternate translation: "They completely stopped worshiping Yahweh" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])

# They abandoned Yahweh
|
|
|

No longer obeying and worshiping Yahweh is spoken of as if the people left Yahweh and went somewhere else. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
