Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.

📚 Historical Context
In the book of Ezekiel, chapter 23, the prophet uses an allegory of two sisters to represent the nations of Israel and Judah, with Judah being accused of unfaithfulness to God. This verse specifically highlights Judah's alliances with the Assyrian Empire, where they adopted foreign customs and idols, reflecting the historical period of Assyrian dominance in the 8th-7th centuries BC. Ezekiel, speaking during the Babylonian exile, warned the people about the dangers of turning to pagan influences instead of remaining loyal to God.
