They served other gods and completely ignored God. This is a behavior Christians practice today. I know personally, I have ignored and served other gods i.e. money, relationships, jobs, self. Foolishly choosing to ignore God's saving grace in my life. It is easy to forget where God has brought up from and what He desires to do in our lives. When we do this, we have to face the heart wrenching consequences of bad behavior. I would rather be for God than against Him.
