1 Kings 12:26-33

26And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, Now shall the kingdomH4467 returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732: 27If this peopleH5971 go upH5927 to offerH6213 sacrificeH2077 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, then shall the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 turn againH7725 to their lordH113, even to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and they shall killH2026 me, and returnH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 28Upon which the kingH4428 took counselH3289, and madeH6213 twoH8147 calvesH5695 of goldH2091, and saidH559 to them, It is too muchH7227 for you to go upH5927 to JerusalemH3389: behold thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which brought theeH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 29And he setH7760 the oneH259 in BethelH1008, and the otherH259 he placedH5414 in DanH1835. 30And this thingH1697 became a sinH2403: for the peopleH5971 wentH3212 to worship beforeH6440 the oneH259, even to DanH1835. 31And he madeH6213 an houseH1004 of high placesH1116, and madeH6213 priestsH3548 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971, who were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878. 32And JeroboamH3379 ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, on the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, like the feastH2282 that is in JudahH3063, and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196. So didH6213 he in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 to the calvesH5695 that he had madeH6213: and he placedH5975 in BethelH1008 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 which he had madeH6213.12 33So he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196 which he had madeH6213 in BethelH1008 the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the eighthH8066 monthH2320, even in the monthH2320 which he had devisedH908 of his own heartH3820; and ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196, and burnt incenseH6999.34
