25Then 1JeroboamH3379 builtH1129 ShechemH7927 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, and livedH3427 2there. And he wentH3318 out from thereH8033 and builtH1129 3PenuelH6439.

26JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, “NowH6258 the kingdomH4467 will returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732.

274IfH518 thisH2088 peopleH5971 goH5927 up to offerH6213 sacrificesH2077 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 at JerusalemH3389, then the heartH3820 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 will returnH7725 to their lordH113, even to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and they will killH2026 me and returnH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.”

28So the kingH4428 5consultedH3289, and 6madeH6213 twoH8147 goldenH2091 7calvesH5695, and he saidH559 to them, “It is tooH4480 muchH7227 for you to goH5927 up to JerusalemH3389; 8beholdH2009 your godsH430, O IsraelH3478, that broughtH5927 you up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.”
