1 Kings 12:32-33

Common English Bible

³² Jeroboam set a date for a celebration on the fifteenth day of the eighth month.^[a] It was just like the celebration in Judah. He sacrificed on the altar. At Bethel he sacrificed to the calves he had made. There also he installed the priests for the shrines he had made. ³³ On the fifteenth day of the eighth month—the time he alone had decided—Jeroboam went up^[b] to the altar he had built in Bethel. He made a celebration for the Israelites and offered sacrifices on the altar by burning them up.^[c]
