_ _ he ordained him priests — The persons he appointed to the priesthood were low and worthless creatures (1 Kings 12:31; 1 Kings 13:33); any were consecrated who brought a bullock and seven rams (2 Chronicles 13:9; Exodus 29:37).

_ _ for the devils — a term sometimes used for idols in general (Leviticus 17:7). But here it is applied distinctively to the goat deities, which were probably worshipped chiefly in the northern parts of his kingdom, where the heathen Canaanites still abounded.
_ _ for the calves which he had made — figures of the ox gods Apis and Mnevis, with which Jeroboam’s residence in Egypt had familiarized him. (See on 1 Kings 12:26). |
