1 Kings 12:28-33

28So the kingH4428 1consultedH3289, and 2madeH6213 twoH8147 goldenH2091 3calvesH5695, and he saidH559 to them, “It is tooH4480 muchH7227 for you to goH5927 up to JerusalemH3389; 4beholdH2009 your godsH430, O IsraelH3478, that broughtH5927 you up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.”

29He setH7760 5oneH259 in 6BethelH1008, and the otherH259 he putH5414 in 7DanH1835.

30Now 8thisH2088 thingH1697 becameH1961 a sinH2403, for the peopleH5971 wentH1980 to worship beforeH6440 the oneH259 as farH5704 as DanH1835.

31And 9he madeH6213 housesH1004 on highH1116 placesH1116, and 10madeH6213 priestsH3548 from among 11allH7098 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.

32JeroboamH3379 12institutedH6213 a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320 on the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, 13like the feastH2282 whichH834 is in JudahH3063, and he 14wentH5927 up to the altarH4196; thusH3651 he didH6213 in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 to the calvesH5695 whichH834 he had madeH6213. And he stationedH5975 in BethelH1008 15the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 whichH834 he had madeH6213.

33Then he 16wentH5927 up to the altarH4196 whichH834 he had madeH6213 in BethelH1008 on the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, even in the monthH2320 whichH834 he had 1718devisedH908 19in his own heartH3820; and he 20institutedH6213 a feastH2282 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and 21wentH5927 up to the altarH4196 22to burnH6999 23incenseH6999.
