1 Kings 12:31

Jeroboam Becomes King Over Israel

³⁰ And this thing became a sin, - and the people went before the one, as far as Dan. ³¹ And he made a house of high-places, - and made priests from the whole compass of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi. ³² And Jeroboam made a festival in the eight month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival which was held in Judah, and offered up on the altar, likewise, did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made, - and he kept in attendance in Bethel, the priests of the high-places which he had made.
