Footnotes

  1. 1 Kings 12:28 Two golden calves: by setting up a new place of worship outside of Jerusalem, Jeroboam disregards God’s rules of worship and starts his own religion separating the people both physically and spiritually from their true home. His efforts are doomed as were previous generations that worshiped golden calves (Ex 32).
