1 Kings 12:28

Jeroboam Becomes King Over Israel

²⁷ If the people go up to make offerings in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, their heart will be turned again to their lord, to Rehoboam, king of Judah; and they will put me to death and go back to Rehoboam, king of Judah. ²⁸ So after taking thought the king made two oxen of gold; and he said to the people, You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; see! these are your gods, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt. ²⁹ And he put one in Beth-el and the other in Dan.
