*
Whereupon the king took counsel ,
and made two calves of gold ,
and said unto them ,
It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem :
behold thy gods ,
O Israel ,
which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt .
*
And he set the one in Bethel ,
and the other put he in Dan .
*
And this thing became a sin :
for the people went to worship before the one ,
even unto Dan .
*
And he made an house of high places ,
and made priests of the lowest of the people ,
which were not of the sons of Levi .
*
And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month ,
on the fifteenth day of the month ,
like unto the feast that is in Judah ,
and he offered upon the altar .
So did he in Bethel ,
sacrificing unto the calves that he had made :
and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made .
*
So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month ,
even in the month which he had devised of his own heart ;
and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel :
and he offered upon the altar ,
and burnt incense .
