25And Jeroboam buildeth Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelleth in it, and goeth out thence, and buildeth Penuel;
26and Jeroboam saith in his heart, `Now doth the kingdom turn back to the house of David --
27if this people go up to make sacrifices in the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, then hath the heart of this people turned back unto their lord, unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they have slain me, and turned back unto Rehoboam king of Judah.`
28And the king taketh counsel, and maketh two calves of gold, and saith unto them, `Enough to you of going up to Jerusalem; lo, thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.`
29And he setteth the one in Beth-El, and the other he hath put in Dan,
30and this thing becometh a sin, and the people go before the one -- unto Dan.
31And he maketh the house of high places, and maketh priests of the extremities of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi;
