1 Kings 12:28–33

²⁸Therefore the king asked advice, ^vmade two calves of gold, and said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. ^wHere are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!” ²⁹And he set up one in ^xBethel, and the other he put in ^yDan. ³⁰Now this thing became ^za sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan. ³¹He made ⁶shrines on the high places, ^aand made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

³²Jeroboam ⁷ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like ^bthe feast that was in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. ^cAnd at Bethel he installed the priests of the high places which he had made. ³³So he made offerings on the altar which he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had ^ddevised in his own heart. And he ⁸ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and ^eburned incense.
