1 Kings 12:26-33
26And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, “NowH6258 the kingdomH4467 will returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732.
271IfH518 thisH2088 peopleH5971 goH5927 upH5927 to 2offerH6213 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 3consultedH3289, and he 4madeH6213 twoH8147 goldenH2091 5calvesH5695; and he saidH559 to 6the people, “It is tooH4480 muchH7227 for you to goH5927 upH5927 to JerusalemH3389; 7beholdH2009 your godsH430, IsraelH3478, that broughtH5927 you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.”
29And he setH7760 upH7760 8oneH259 in 9BethelH1008, and the otherH259 he putH5414 in 10DanH1835.
30Now 11thisH2088 thingH1697 becameH1961 a sinH2403, for the peopleH5971 wentH1980 to worship beforeH6440 the oneH259 as farH5704 as DanH1835.
31And 12he madeH6213 housesH1004 on highH1116 placesH1116, and 1314appointedH6213 priestsH3548 from 15allH7098 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
32JeroboamH3379 also 16institutedH6213 a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320 on the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, 17like the feastH2282 that is in JudahH3063, and he 18wentH5927 upH5927 to the altarH4196. SoH3651 he didH6213 in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 to the calvesH5695 whichH834 he had madeH6213. And he stationedH5975 in BethelH1008 19the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 whichH834 he had madeH6213.
33Then he 20wentH5927 upH5927 to the altarH4196 whichH834 he had madeH6213 in BethelH1008 on the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, the monthH2320 that he had 2122devisedH908 23in his own heartH3820; and he 24institutedH6213 a feastH2282 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and 25wentH5927 upH5927 to the altarH4196 26to burnH6999 27incenseH6999.
