After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

For they also built for themselves high places, and images and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built to the name of the LORD, until those days.

And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

And within the oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high.

For he cast two pillars of brass, each of eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits did encompass each of them.

And he made a house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Beth-el, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places which he had made.

And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.

For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.

And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base its ledges and its borders were of the same.

And at this house which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house?

Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
