1 Kings 12:30-32
American Standard Version
30 And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before [a]the one, even unto Dan. 31 And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi. 32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he [b]went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, [c]sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made.

30 And this thing became a sin;(A) the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.[a]
31 Jeroboam built shrines(B) on high places and appointed priests(C) from all sorts of people, even though they were not Levites. 32 He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth(D) month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel,(E) sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made.
