A Prophet Announces the End of Jeroboam’s Dynasty
33 After this happened, Jeroboam still did not change his evil ways;[a] he continued to appoint common people[b] as priests at the high places. Anyone who wanted the job he consecrated as a priest.[c] 34 This sin caused Jeroboam’s dynasty[d] to come to an end and to be destroyed from the face of the earth.

1 Kings 13:33-34
International Standard Version
33 Despite everything that happened, Jeroboam never did repent of his evil practices. Instead, he appointed even more people to act as priests for the high places. Anyone who wanted to be a priest was ordained to be a priest in the high places. 34 This practice became so sinful that the Lord decided[a] to erase Jeroboam’s dynasty, thus eliminating it from the face of the earth.
