📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, after King Solomon's death, the kingdom of Israel divided into two parts: the northern kingdom led by Jeroboam and the southern kingdom under Rehoboam. Jeroboam, worried that his people would travel to Jerusalem for worship and possibly defect to the south, built unauthorized worship sites known as high places and appointed priests from non-Levite groups to serve there. This action defied God's commands in the Law of Moses, which reserved the priesthood for the tribe of Levi, and it marked a step toward idolatry that contributed to the northern kingdom's spiritual decline.
