Do we no have a "sin which doth so easily beset us"?

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

The things written about Israel, for us can be examples, ensamples, and for our learning:

Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

I Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

  11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

Can we learn about a besetting sin, that had such a hold for so long a time?

I Kings 14:23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

I Kings 15:14a But the high places were not removed:

I Kings 22:43b  nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.

II Kings 12:3 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

II Kings 14:4 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.

II Kings 15:4 Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.

  35a Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places.

Is that not kind of a similar pattern of a besetting sin in our lives?
