Now an old H2205 prophet H5030 was living H3427 in Bethel H1008; and his [fn]sons H1121 came H935 and told H5608 him all H3605 the deeds H4639 which H834 the man H376 of God H430 had done H6213 that day H3117 in Bethel H1008; the words H1697 which H834 he had spoken H1696 to the king H4428, these also they reported H5608 to their father H1.
Now when the prophet H5030 who H834 had brought H7725 him back H7725 from the way H1870 heard H8085 about it, he said H559, “It is the man H376 of God H430, who H834 [fn]disobeyed H4784 the [fn]command H6310 of the LORD H3068; therefore the LORD H3068 has given H5414 him to the lion H738, which has torn H7665 him and killed H4191 him, in accordance with the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 He spoke H1696 to him.”
After H310 this H2088 event H1697, Jeroboam H3379 did not [fn]abandon H7725 his evil H7451 way H1870, but he again H7725 [fn]appointed H6213 priests H3548 of the high H1116 places H1116 from [fn]all H7098 the people H5971; anyone who wanted H2655, he ordained H4390 H3027, and he became [fn]one of the priests H3548 of the high H1116 places H1116.
