³¹ He made ^[a]shrines on the high places, ^(A)and made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

³² Jeroboam ^[a]ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like ^(A)the feast that was in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. ^(B)And at Bethel he installed the priests of the high places which he had made.

^33 (A)After this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but again he made priests from every class of people for the high places; whoever wished, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
