I can’t see that. God isn’t going to give it and then take it away because of idol worship.

He did something similar with the bronze snake mentioned in Numbers 21:8-9

It had to be destroyed because the Israelites started worshipping it.

He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done. 4 He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.)

2 Kings 18:3-4
