- Jeroboam:
- "And he madeª°¹ an houseª of high places,ª and madeª° priestsª of the lowestª¹ of the people,ª which¹ were¹ not¹ of the sonsª¹ of Levi.ª ... So he offeredª° upon¹ the altarª which¹ he had madeª° in Bethelª the fifteenthªª dayª of the eighthª month,ª [even] in the monthª which¹ he had devisedª° of his own heart;ª¹ and ordainedª° a feastª unto the childrenª of Israel:ª and he offeredª° upon¹ the altar,ª and burnt incense.ª°" {1Kg 12:31-33} + "And he ordainedª° him priestsª for the high places,ª and for the devils,ª and for the calvesª which¹ he had made.ª°" {2Ch 11:15} + "Have ye not¹ cast outª°¹ the priestsª of the LORD,ª¹ the sonsª of Aaron,ª and the Levites,ª and have madeª° you priestsª after the manner of the nationsª of [other] lands?ª so that whosoever¹ comethª° to consecrateªª° himself with a youngªª bullockª and sevenª rams,ª [the same] may be¹ a priestª of [them that are] noª gods.ª" {2Ch 13:9} + "For,¹ behold,¹ the LORDª commandeth,ª° and he will smiteª° the greatª houseª with breaches,ª and the littleª houseª with clefts.ª" {Ams 6:11}
