1 Kings 13:33

Jeroboam Continues In His Sin

³² For the thing shall surely come to pass which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria.” ³³ After this event Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again he made priests of the high places from among all the people; any who would, he ordained, to be priests of the high places. ³⁴ This event became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to blot it out and destroy it from off the face of the earth.
