1 Kings 12:29–13:1

²⁹He set ^aone in ^bBethel, and the other he put in ^cDan.

³⁰Now ^athis thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

³¹And ^ahe made houses on high places, and ^bmade priests from among ¹all the people who were not of the sons of Levi.

³²Jeroboam ¹instituted a feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month, ^alike the feast which is in Judah, and he ²went up to the altar; thus he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made. And he stationed in Bethel ^bthe priests of the high places which he had made.

³³Then he ¹went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had ^2adevised ³in his own heart; and he instituted a feast for the sons of Israel and went up to the altar ^bto burn ⁴incense.

Chapter 13
