Gill's Notes on the Bible
So they feared the Lord,.... Worshipped the God of Israel in the manner they were taught:
and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places; these were made after the manner of Jeroboam's priests, 1 Kings 12:31, and were to sacrifice to the God of Israel in the high places, and temples built there; for otherwise they had, no doubt, priests of their own to sacrifice to their gods, and which they brought with them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Of the lowest of them - Rather, “from all ranks.” See marginal reference note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 32. Of the lowest of them priests — One priest was not enough for this motley population; and, as the priesthood was probably neither respectable nor lucrative, it was only the lowest of the people who would enter into the employment.
