What does the Bible say about having a divided heart?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against a divided heart, exemplified by Amaziah, who followed God superficially while tolerating idolatry.

A divided heart refers to a state of being where one's devotion to God is inconsistent and half-hearted. This concept is vividly illustrated in the life of Amaziah, king of Judah, who served the Lord but not wholeheartedly. 2 Kings 14:3 states that he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, yet the high places of idolatry remained, indicating a lack of true commitment to God. This duplicity not only reflects a spirit of toleration toward what is contrary to God’s glory but also demonstrates a failure to understand the implications of serving God fully and exclusively.
