1 Kings 12:26-31

26And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, NowH6258 shall the kingdomH4467 returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732:

27ifH518 this peopleH5971 goH5927 upH5927 to offerH5927 sacrificesH2077 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, then shall the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 turnH7725 againH7725 unto their lordH3068, evenH518 unto RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and they shall killH2026 meH413, and returnH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.

28Whereupon the kingH4428 tookH5927 counselH3289, and madeH6213 twoH8147 calvesH5695 of goldH2091; and he saidH559 unto them, It is tooH7227 muchH7227 for youH834 to goH5927 upH5927 to JerusalemH3389; beholdH2009 thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, whichH834 broughtH5927 thee upH5927 outH413 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

29And he setH7760 the one in Beth-el, and the otherH259 putH5414 he in DanH1835.

30And this thingH1697 becameH1961 a sinH2403: for the peopleH5971 wentH6440 to worship beforeH6440 the one, evenH5704 unto DanH1835.

31And he madeH6213 housesH1004 of highH1116 placesH1116, and madeH6213 priestsH3548 from among allH7098 the peopleH5971, whichH834 were notH3808 of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
