28. The king took counsel, made two calves of gold, and said to the people: “You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough. Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”
29. And he put one in Bethel, the other in Dan.
30. This led to sin, because the people frequented these calves in Bethel and in Dan.
31. He also built temples on the high places and made priests from among the common people who were not Levites.
32. Jeroboam established a feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month like the pilgrimage feast in Judah, and he went up to the altar. He did this in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made. He stationed in Bethel the priests of the high places he had built.
