1 Kings 12:25-30

25Then 1JeroboamH3379 builtH1129 ShechemH7927 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, and livedH3427 2there. And he wentH3318 outH3318 from thereH8033 and builtH1129 3PenuelH6439.

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

274IfH518 thisH2088 peopleH5971 goH5927 upH5927 to 5offerH6213 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 6consultedH3289, and he 7madeH6213 twoH8147 goldenH2091 8calvesH5695; and he saidH559 to 9the people, “It is tooH4480 muchH7227 for you to goH5927 upH5927 to JerusalemH3389; 10beholdH2009 your godsH430, IsraelH3478, that broughtH5927 you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.”

29And he setH7760 upH7760 11oneH259 in 12BethelH1008, and the otherH259 he putH5414 in 13DanH1835.

30Now 14thisH2088 thingH1697 becameH1961 a sinH2403, for the peopleH5971 wentH1980 to worship beforeH6440 the oneH259 as farH5704 as DanH1835.
