*
And Jeroboam built Shechem in the hills of Ephraim and lived in it ,
and went out from there and built Penuel .
*
And Jeroboam said in his heart ,
Now the kingdom shall turn back to the house of David ;
*
if this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem ,
then the heart of this people shall turn again to their lord ,
to Rehoboam the king of Judah ,
and they will kill me and go again to Rehoboam the king of Judah .
*
And the king took counsel and made two calves of gold .
And he said to them ,
It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem .
Behold your gods ,
O Israel ,
which brought you up out of the land of Egypt !
*
And he set the one in Bethel ,
and the other he put in Daniel .
*
And this thing became a sin ,
for the people went before the one ,
to Daniel .
*
And he made a house of high places ,
and made priests of the lowest of people ,
who were not of the sons of Levi .
*
And Jeroboam made a feast in the eighth month ,
in the fifteenth day of the month ,
like the feast that is in Judah ;
and he offered on the altar ,
so he did in Bethel ,
to sacrifice to the calves which he made ;
and he made stand in Bethel the priests of the high places that he made .
*
And he offered up on the altar that he made in Bethel ,
on the fifteenth day of the eighth month ,
in the month that he devised out of his own heart ;
and he made a feast for the sons of Israel ,
and offered on the altar ,
to burn incense .
