1 Kings 12:29-31
EasyEnglish Bible
29 Jeroboam put one gold cow in Bethel. He put the other gold cow in Dan.[a] 30 But that caused the Israelite people to do a very bad thing. They went to Bethel and to Dan to worship the gold cows.
31 Jeroboam also built places on hills for people to worship. He chose men who were not from Levi's tribe to be priests.

- 12:29 The Book of Deuteronomy said that each Israelite must go to Jerusalem three times in every year. Jeroboam made other places for them to go to instead. The places were Bethel and Dan. It was easier for most Israelites to travel to Bethel (in the south) and to Dan (in the north).
