MLV(i)
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
27 If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah. And they will kill me and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.
28 Upon it the king took counsel and made two calves of gold. And he said to them, It is too much for you* to go up to Jerusalem. Behold your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt. 29 And he set the one in Bethel and the other he put in Dan. 30 And this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one, even to Dan. 31 And he made houses of high places and made priests from among all the people who were not of the sons of Levi.
32 And Jeroboam made a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah and he went up to the altar. So he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. And he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
