Then the king of Assyria commanded, “Send there one of the priests whom you carried away from there, and let him go and dwell there and teach them the law of the god of the land.”
and he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat idols and for the calves that he had made.
And the man cried against the altar by the word of the Lord and said, “O altar, altar, thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name, and he shall sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who make offerings on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.’”
He also made temples on high places and appointed priests from among all the people, who were not of the Levites.
Then Micah said, “Now I know that the Lord will prosper me, because I have a Levite as priest.”
