1 Kings 12:28-33

28 So the king ^{▼▼Lit took counsel}consulted, and he ^bmade two golden ^ccalves; and he said to ^{▼▼Lit them}the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; ^ebehold your gods, Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt.” 29 And he set up ^fone in ^gBethel, and the other he put in ^hDan. 30 Now ⁱthis thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan. 31 And ^jhe made houses on high places, and ^{▼▼Lit made
,} ^lappointed priests from ^{▼▼Lit the extremities of the}all the people who were not of the sons of Levi. 32 Jeroboam also ^{▼▼Lit made}instituted a feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month, ^olike the feast that is in Judah, and he ^{▼▼Or offered upon}went up to the altar. So he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made. And he stationed in Bethel ^qthe priests of the high places which he had made. 33 Then he ^{▼▼Or offered upon}went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, the month that he had ^{▼▼Lit made
,} ^tdevised ^{▼▼Lit from}in his own heart; and he ^{▼▼Lit made}instituted a feast for the sons of Israel and ^{▼▼Or offered upon}went up to the altar ^xto burn ^{▼▼Or sacrifices}incense.
