1 Kings 13:32-34
International Standard Version
32 because what he predicted by a message from the Lord against the altar in Bethel and the temples built in the high places of the cities of Samaria will certainly come about.”
33 Despite everything that happened, Jeroboam never did repent of his evil practices. Instead, he appointed even more people to act as priests for the high places. Anyone who wanted to be a priest was ordained to be a priest in the high places. 34 This practice became so sinful that the Lord decided[a] to erase Jeroboam’s dynasty, thus eliminating it from the face of the earth.

1 Kings 13:32-34
New International Version
32 For the message he declared by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places(A) in the towns of Samaria(B) will certainly come true.”(C)
33 Even after this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways,(D) but once more appointed priests for the high places from all sorts(E) of people. Anyone who wanted to become a priest he consecrated for the high places. 34 This was the sin(F) of the house of Jeroboam that led to its downfall and to its destruction(G) from the face of the earth.
