1 Kings 13:33

A Prophet Announces the End of Jeroboam’s Dynasty

13:33 After this happened, Jeroboam still did not change his evil ways; 1  he continued to appoint common people 2  as priests at the high places. Anyone who wanted the job he consecrated as a priest. 3 

1 Kings 22:43

22:43 He followed in his father Asa’s footsteps and was careful to do what the Lord approved. 4  (22:44) 5  However, the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places.

1 tn Heb “did not turn from his evil way.”

2 sn The expression common people refers to people who were not Levites. See 1 Kgs 12:31.

3 tn Heb “and one who had the desire he was filling his hand so that he became [one of] the priests of the high places.”

4 tn Heb “he walked in all the way of Asa his father and did not turn from it, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.”

5 sn Beginning with 22:43b, the verse numbers through 22:53 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), because 22:43b in the English Bible = 22:44 in the Hebrew text. The remaining verses in the chapter differ by one, with 22:44-53 ET = 22:45-54 HT.
