3. Or the constant diatribes against the false priests.

No shortage of ranting about lack of faithfulness at that point.

"Jewish" here is territorial, not necessarily religious or even ethnic. There was one altar supposedly in place, and it wasn't at Tel Arad. (Later that was only partially true--the Samaritans had one centuries later, and some Jews set up one with sacrifices in Alexandria. Otherwise you had what became synagogues, but the synagogue movement was post-captivity. Some neuron is telling me the was a third Jewish one but it can't give a location, while another's trying to say that neuron's confused and the Samaritan altar was #3. The community at Qumran didn't have an altar, for example, and if anybody was going to you'd think they would, if they were Essenes and thought their leaders continued the true priestly line. They valued location over descent, it would seem.)
