2 Chronicles 11:15

Ver. 15. And he ordained him priests for the high places,.... Of such who were not of the tribe of Levi, and family of Aaron; see 1Ki 12:31

and for the devils; demons in the shape of goats, as this word signifies, in which form many of the Heathen deities were worshipped; idols of whatsoever kind are so called; for whosoever worships them worships not God, but devils, 1Co 10:21 the images which Jeroboam set up may be meant, and the next clause may be rendered as explanative of them:

even for the calves which he had made; one of which he set up at Dan, and the other at Bethel, 1Ki 12:28.
