And
Jeroboam said in his
heart, Now shall the
kingdom return to the
house of
David:

If this
people go
up to
do sacrifice in the
house of the
LORD at
Jerusalem, then shall the
heart of this
people turn
again unto their
lord, even unto
Rehoboam king of
Judah, and they shall
kill me, and go
again to
Rehoboam king of
Judah.

Whereupon the
king took
counsel, and
made two calves of
gold, and
said unto them, It is too
much for you to go
up to
Jerusalem: behold thy
gods, O
Israel, which brought thee
up out of the
land of
Egypt.

And this
thing became a
sin: for the
people went to worship
before the
one, even unto
Dan.

And he

And
Jeroboam ordained a
feast in the
eighth month, on the
fifteenth* day of the
month, like unto the
feast that is in
Judah, and he
offered upon the
altar. So
did he in
Bethel, sacrificing unto the
calves that he had
made: and he
placed in
Bethel the
priests of the high
places which he had
made.

So he

devised of his own
heart; and
ordained a
feast unto the
children of
Israel: and he
offered upon the

incense.
