For the saying which he cried by the LORD’s word against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen.”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 32. Samaria. The city was built by Amri, fifty years after the death of Jeroboam. Calmet. 16:24. But the sacred writer speaks of places by the names which they bore in his time. Calmet.—If this man was a prophet, he might easily mention Samaria, which would give its name to the kingdom of Israel. There was also probably a village of this name long before, on the mountain Samir, where one of the judges was buried. Judges 10:2. Bible.
