1 Kings 12:30-32
Evangelical Heritage Version
30 This sin took hold, and the people traveled as far as Dan to worship. 31 Jeroboam also made shrines[a] on the high places,[b] and he appointed priests from all kinds of people, even though they were not Levites. 32 Jeroboam instituted a festival in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival[c] that is held in Judah. He offered sacrifices on the altar. He did this in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made. He appointed priests in Bethel for the high places he had made.
