Prophets in the Old Testament often delivered messages from God, serving as His mouthpiece. The act of crying out indicates urgency and the importance of the message. Prophets were often called to speak against idolatry and disobedience to God's commands.by the word of the LORD This emphasizes the divine origin of the prophecy. The phrase "word of the LORD" is a common biblical expression indicating that the message is not of human origin but is a direct revelation from God. This underscores the authority and reliability of the prophecy.against the altar in Bethel Bethel was a significant religious site in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. King Jeroboam had set up a golden calf there, leading the people into idolatry (<a href="/1_kings/12-28.htm">1 Kings 12:28-29</a>). The altar in Bethel became a symbol of Israel's apostasy. The prophecy against it highlights God's judgment on false worship and idolatry.and against all the shrines on the high places High places were locations often used for idol worship and unauthorized sacrifices, contrary to God's command to worship only at the temple in Jerusalem. These shrines represented the widespread nature of idolatry in Israel. The prophecy condemns these practices and foretells their destruction.in the cities of Samaria Samaria was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The mention of Samaria indicates that the idolatry and false worship were pervasive throughout the kingdom, not just localized to Bethel. This highlights the extent of Israel's departure from true worship.will surely come to pass.” This phrase assures the certainty of the prophecy's fulfillment.

Keil sees "a prophetic element in these words." He thinks the old prophet foresaw that such sanctuaries would be multiplied. Rawlinson gathers, "from the mention of the great high place in <a href="/1_kings/3-4.htm">1 Kings 3:4</a>, that there were many lesser high places in the land," which, no doubt, was the case at the date of Solomon's accession. It is probable, however, that many of these, if not all, would be deserted when the temple was built. And it is most reasonable to suppose that in these, as in the following words, the historian has represented the prediction or affirmation of the old prophet in the language of his own time] which are in the cities of Samaria.
