1 Kings 12:19-33

191So IsraelH3478 has brokenH6586 withH6586 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 to thisH2088 dayH3117.

20And it cameH1961 aboutH1961, when allH3605 IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 had returnedH7725, that they sentH7971 word and calledH7121 him to the assemblyH5712, and madeH4427 him kingH4427 overH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478. 2NoneH3808 exceptH2108 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 aloneH905 followedH310 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732.

213Now when RehoboamH7346 had comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he assembledH6950 allH3605 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, 180,000H3967H8084H505 chosenH977 warriorsH6213H4421, to fightH3898 againstH5973 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to restoreH7725 the kingdomH4410 to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010. 22But the wordH1697 of GodH430 cameH1961 to 4ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559, 23“TellH559 RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and allH3605 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the 5restH3499 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 24‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “You shall not goH5927 upH5927 norH3808 fightH3898 againstH5973 your relativesH251 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; returnH7725, everyH376 manH376 to his houseH1004, 6for thisH2088 thingH1697 has comeH1961 from Me.”’” So they listenedH8085 to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, and returnedH7725 to goH1980 their way in accordance with the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.

25Then 7JeroboamH3379 builtH1129 ShechemH7927 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, and livedH3427 8there. And he wentH3318 outH3318 from thereH8033 and builtH1129 9PenuelH6439. 26And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, “NowH6258 the kingdomH4467 will returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732. 2710IfH518 thisH2088 peopleH5971 goH5927 upH5927 to 11offerH6213 sacrificesH2077 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 in JerusalemH3389, then the heartH3820 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 will returnH7725 to their lordH113, to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and they will killH2026 me and returnH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.” 28So the kingH4428 12consultedH3289, and he 13madeH6213 twoH8147 goldenH2091 14calvesH5695; and he saidH559 to 15the people, “It is tooH4480 muchH7227 for you to goH5927 upH5927 to JerusalemH3389; 16beholdH2009 your godsH430, IsraelH3478, that broughtH5927 you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.” 29And he setH7760 upH7760 17oneH259 in 18BethelH1008, and the otherH259 he putH5414 in 19DanH1835. 30Now 20thisH2088 thingH1697 becameH1961 a sinH2403, for the peopleH5971 wentH1980 to worship beforeH6440 the oneH259 as farH5704 as DanH1835. 31And 21he madeH6213 housesH1004 on highH1116 placesH1116, and 2223appointedH6213 priestsH3548 from 24allH7098 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878. 32JeroboamH3379 also 25institutedH6213 a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320 on the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, 26like the feastH2282 that is in JudahH3063, and he 27wentH5927 upH5927 to the altarH4196. SoH3651 he didH6213 in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 to the calvesH5695 whichH834 he had madeH6213. And he stationedH5975 in BethelH1008 28the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 whichH834 he had madeH6213. 33Then he 29wentH5927 upH5927 to the altarH4196 whichH834 he had madeH6213 in BethelH1008 on the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, the monthH2320 that he had 3031devisedH908 32in his own heartH3820; and he 33institutedH6213 a feastH2282 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and 34wentH5927 upH5927 to the altarH4196 35to burnH6999 36incenseH6999.
