1 Reis 12:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 12:29

And he set the one in Bethel
In the southern part of the land, on the border of Ephraim and Benjamin; and the rather he chose this place, because its name signifies the house of God, and had been a sacred place, where Jacob more than once enjoyed the divine Presence:

and the other put he in Dan:
in the northern part of the land, for the convenience of the inhabitants of those parts; and the rather, since it had been a place resorted to in former times, because of the teraphim of Micah there.

1 Reis 12:29 In-Context

27 Se este povo subir para fazer sacrifícios na casa do Senhor, em Jerusalém, o seu coração se tornará para o seu senhor, Roboão, rei de Judá; e, matando-me, voltarão para Roboão, rei de Judá.
28 Pelo que o rei, tendo tomado conselho, fez doisvado e meio. ouro; e disse ao povo: Basta de subires a Jerusalém; eis aqui teus deuses, ó Israel, que te fizeram subir da terra do Egito.
29 E pôs um em Betel, e o outro em Dã.
30 Ora, isto se tornou em pecado; pois que o povo ia até Dã para adorar o ídolo.
31 Também fez casas nos altos, e constituiu sacerdotes dentre o povo, que não eram dos filhos de Levi.
