1 Kings 12

²⁹ One calf he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan.

³⁰ And this thing became a sin; the people walked as far as Dan to worship before one of the calves.

³¹ Jeroboam also built shrines on the high places and appointed from every class of people priests who were not Levites.

³² And Jeroboam ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar; he made this offering in Bethel to sacrifice to the calves he had set up, and he installed priests in Bethel for the high places he had set up.

³³ On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, Jeroboam offered sacrifices on the altar he had set up in Bethel. So he ordained a feast for the Israelites, offered sacrifices on the altar, and burned incense.
