1 Kings 13:31-33
Contemporary English Version
31 He said to his sons, “When I die, bury my body next to this prophet. 32 I'm sure that everything he said about the altar in Bethel and the shrines in Samaria will happen.”
33 But Jeroboam kept on doing evil things. He appointed men to be priests at the local shrines, even if they were not Levites. In fact, anyone who wanted to be a priest could be one.

1 Kings 13:31-33
New International Version
31 After burying him, he said to his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried; lay my bones(A) beside his bones. 32 For the message he declared by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places(B) in the towns of Samaria(C) will certainly come true.”(D)
33 Even after this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways,(E) but once more appointed priests for the high places from all sorts(F) of people. Anyone who wanted to become a priest he consecrated for the high places.
