Exegesis
Finally, the resultant vihi kohanei bamot {וִיהִי כֹּהֲנֵי בָמוֹת | wîhî kōhănê bāmôt} ‘and they became priests of the high places’ underscores the institutionalization of unauthorized worship.
In context — 1 Kings 13:33
After this event Jeroboam did not turn back from his evil way, but again made priests from the lowest ranks of the people for the high places ; whoever desired it he filled his hand and became a priest of the high places.
