1 Reyes 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 Reyes 12:29 In-Context

27 si este pueblo continúa subiendo a ofrecer sacrificios en la casa del SEÑOR en Jerusalén, porque el corazón de este pueblo se volverá a su señor, es decir a Roboam, rey de Judá, y me matarán y volverán a Roboam, rey de Judá.
28 Y el rey tomó consejo, hizo dos becerros de oro, y dijo al pueblo: Es mucho para vosotros subir a Jerusalén; he aquí vuestros dioses, oh Israel, los cuales te hicieron subir de la tierra de Egipto.
29 Puso uno en Betel y el otro lo puso en Dan.
30 Y esto fue motivo de pecado, porque el pueblo iba aun hasta Dan a adorar delante de uno de ellos.
31 Hizo también casas en los lugares altos, e hizo sacerdotes de entre el pueblo que no eran de los hijos de Leví.
