1 Kings 13:32
Compare all
30 Then he laid the corpse in his own tomb; and they mourned over him, saying, a“Alas, my brother!”  
31 So it was, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried; alay my bones beside his bones.  
32 aFor the saying which he cried out by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places which are in the cities of bSamaria, will surely come to pass.”  
33 aAfter this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but again he made priests from every class of people for the high places; whoever wished, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.  
34 aAnd this thing was the sin of the house of Jeroboam, so as bto exterminate and destroy it from the face of the earth.

1 Kings 13:32

Against all the houses of the high places - i. e., more than the two high places at Dan and Bethel. There were many lesser high places in the land, several of which would be likely to be in Israel I Kings 3:4.

In the cities of Samaria - The word Samaria cannot have been employed by the old prophet, in whose days Samaria did not exist I Kings 16:24. The writer of Kings has substituted for the term used by him that whereby the country was known in his own day.
