1 Kings 12:29–13:1

²⁹And he set the one in ^dBeth-el, and the other put he in ^eDan. ^30fAnd this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before ^gthe one, even unto ^eDan. ³¹And he made ^ha house of high places, and ⁱmade priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. ³²And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto ^jthe feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar (so did he in Beth-el,) sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el ^kthe priests of the high places which he had made. ³³So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Beth-el the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had ^ldevised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

XIII.And behold, there ^acame ^ba man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
