1 Kings 12:28-31

28So the king 1consulted, and 2made two golden 3calves, and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; 4behold your gods, O Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt.”

29He set 5one in 6Bethel, and the other he put in 7Dan.

30Now 8this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

31And 9he made houses on high places, and 10made priests from among 11all the people who were not of the sons of Levi.
