*
And Jeroboam built Sikima in mount Ephraim and dwelt in it ,
and went forth thence and built Phanuel .
*
And Jeroboam said in his heart ,
Behold ,
now the kingdom will return to the house of David .
*
If this people shall go up to offer sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem ,
then the heart of the people will return to the Lord ,
and to their master ,
to Roboam king of Juda ,
and they will slay me .
*
And the king took counsel ,
and went ,
and made two golden heifers ,
and said to the people ,
Let it suffice you (

Gr .
to go to (:

to have gone hitherto to Jerusalem :
behold thy gods ,
O Israel ,
who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt .
*
And he put one in Bethel ,
and he (

Gr .
gave (:

put the other in Daniel .
*
And this thing became a sin ;
and the people went before one as far as Dan ,
and left the house of the Lord .
*
And he made houses on the high places ,
and made priests of any part of the people ,
who were not of the sons of Levi .
*
And Jeroboam appointed a feast in the eighth month ,
on the fifteenth day of the month ,
according to the feast in the land of Juda ;
*
and went up to the altar which he made in Baethel to sacrifice to the heifers which he made ,
and he placed in Baethel the priests of the high places which he had made .
And he went up to the altar which he had made ,
on the fifteenth day in the eighth month ,
at the feast which he devised out of his own heart ;
and he made a feast to the children of Israel ,
and went up to the altar to sacrifice .
