1 Kings 12:27-29

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁷ “If this people goes up and does sacrifice in the House of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the hearts of this people turn back to their lord, to Rehoboam, king of Judah. So shall they kill me and go back to Rehoboam, king of Judah.”

²⁸ Upon which the king took counsel and made two calves of gold, and said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Behold, O Israel, your gods which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”

²⁹ And he set one in Bethel. And the other he set in Dan.
