In this verse and the next one, the author is describing what happened after this story as a result of the events within the story itself. This signals the end of a story. Use the natural form in your language for expressing the conclusion of a story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

The author is speaking as if Jeroboam had actually been walking along a path in one direction and did not turn around and walk in a different direction. He means that Jeroboam did not stop doing evil things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Jeroboam continued these evil practices]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Some words not found in UHB: after the,matter the=this not turn Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) from,way_of,his (the),evil and,he_returned and=he/it_made from,the_ends_of of,the_people priests_of high_places the_[one],desiring filled DOM his/its=hand and=let_it_be priests_of high_places )

The author is using returned and made as a common expression of the culture to mean “once again made” or “went back to making.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [but he once again made]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

מִ⁠קְצ֤וֹת הָ⁠עָם֙

The author is using a common expression of his culture to mean that Jeroboam appointed these men to be priests. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. If you have already translated the book of Judges, see how you translated the similar expression in [Judges 17:5](../jdg/17/05.md). Alternate translation: [he would appoint him]

Here the author is using the singular pronoun he with the plural object priests. He means that such a person became one of the priests. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and he became one of the priests of the high places]
