1 Kings 12:30-32
Easy-to-Read Version
30 What a terrible sin this was, because the Israelites started going to the cities of Dan and Bethel[a] to worship the calves.
31 Jeroboam also built temples at the high places and chose priests from among the different tribes of Israel. (He did not choose priests only from the tribe of Levi.) 32 Then King Jeroboam started a new festival that was like the festival[b] in Judah, but it was on the 15th day of the eighth month. At this time the king offered sacrifices on the altar at Bethel. He and the priests he chose offered the sacrifices to the calves that he had set up at the high places he had made.
