1 Kings 12:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David,

²⁷ If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him.

²⁸ And finding out a device he made two golden calves, and said to them: Go ye up no more to Jerusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
