1 Kings 12:25-30

25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. And he went out from there and built Penuel.

26And Jeroboam said in his heart, "Now the kingdom will turn back to the house of David.

27If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the temple of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me and return to Rehoboam king of Judah."

28So the king took counsel and made two calves of gold. And he said to the people, "You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. Behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt."

29And he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.

30Then this thing became a sin, for the people went as far as Dan to be before one.
