1 Kings 16:13
For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities. (1 Kings 16:13)
Their vanities.
 That is, their worship of idols (see Deut. 32:16, 21; 1 Sam. 12:10, 21; Jer. 8:19). Few things are quite so foolish as for men to make gods for themselves with their own hands and then bow before them in worship. The folly of such a course is repeatedly made plain in the Word of God (Ps. 115:4-8; Isa. 41:21-29; 44:9-20; Jer. 10:3-8).
