Commentaire sur Rois 2 17:33
אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה הָי֣וּ יְרֵאִ֑ים וְאֶת־אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם֙ הָי֣וּ עֹֽבְדִ֔ים כְּמִשְׁפַּט֙ הַגּוֹיִ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־הִגְל֥וּ אֹתָ֖ם מִשָּֽׁם׃
Ils adoraient l’Éternel, tout en rendant un culte à leurs dieux, à l’exemple des nations qu’on avait exilées de ces contrées.
Rashi on II Kings
As was the custom of the nations from which they had been exiled. Those deities that are worshiped by the nations whom Sancheiriv and his armies had exiled (these) from there, they would worship here.36Alternatively, כמשפט הגוים refers to some of the Bnei Yisroel who also worshiped idols while worshiping God.—Radak
