KJV - 2 Kings 17:15
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
They refused to follow his rules, the agreement he made with their ancestors, and the evidence he provided. Instead, they chased worthless things, became pointless themselves, and imitated the practices of nearby non-believers that the LORD told them to avoid.
