1 Kings 12:19-33

19And IsraelH3478 rebelledH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, unto this dayH3117. 20And it came to pass when all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 had come backH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him to the assemblyH5712, and made him kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: none followed the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 onlyH905. 21And RehoboamH7346 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389; and he assembledH6950 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, with the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, a hundredH3967 and eightyH8084 thousandH505 chosen menH970 apt for warH4421, to fightH3898 against the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that he might bringH935 the kingdom again to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010. 22But the wordH1697 of 1GodH430 came to ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of 2GodH430, sayingH559, 23Speak unto RehoboamH7346, the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and unto all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and to the remainderH3499 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 24ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: GoH5927 not up, nor fightH3898 with your brethren, the children of IsraelH3478; returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004, for this thingH1697 is from me. And they hearkened to the wordH1697 of Jehovah, and returnedH7725 to depart, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah. 25And JeroboamH3379 builtH1129 ShechemH7927 in mount EphraimH669, and dweltH3427 therein; and wentH3318 out from thence, and builtH1129 PenuelH6439. 26And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, NowH6258 shall the kingdomH4467 returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732. 27If this peopleH5971 goH5927 up to do sacrificeH2077 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah at JerusalemH3389, the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 will turnH7725 again to their lord, to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and they will killH2026 me, and returnH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 28And the kingH4428 took counselH3289, and madeH6213 twoH8147 calvesH5695 of goldH2091. And he saidH559 to them, It is tooH7227 muchH7227 for you to goH5927 up to JerusalemH3389: behold thy 3godsH430, IsraelH3478, which broughtH5927 thee up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714! 29And he setH7760 the oneH259 in Bethel, and the other he putH5414 in DanH1835. 30And this thingH1697 becameH1961 a sinH2403; and the peopleH5971 went [to worship] before the oneH259, as far as DanH1835. 31And he madeH6213 a houseH1004 of highH1116 placesH1116, and madeH6213 priestsH3548 from all classes of the peopleH5971, who were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878. 32And JeroboamH3379 ordained a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, on the fifteenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320, like the feastH2282 that was in JudahH3063, and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196. SoH3651 did he in Bethel, sacrificingH2076 to the calvesH5695 that he had madeH6213; and he placed in Bethel the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 that he had madeH6213. 33And he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196 that he had madeH6213 in Bethel, on the fifteenth dayH3117 of the eighthH8066 monthH2320, in the monthH2320 which he had devised of his own heart; and he madeH6213 a feastH2282 for the children of IsraelH3478, and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196, burning incenseH6999.
