25 And Jeroboam will build Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwell in it; and he will go forth from there and build Penuel. 26 And Jeroboam will say in his heart, Now will the kingdom turn back to the house of David. 27 If this people shall go up to .do sacrifices in the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, and the heart of this people turned back to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and killing me, and they turned back to Rehoboam king of Judah. 28 And the king will consult and make two calves of gold, and he will say to them, Much for you going up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt 29 And he will set up the one in the house of God, and the one he gave in Dan. 30 And this word will be for sin: and the people will go before the one, even to Dan.

31 And he will make a house of heights, and be will make priests from the ends of the people who were not of the sons of Levi. 32 And Jeroboam will make a festival in the eighth month, in the fifteenth day of the month, according to the festival that is in Judah, and he will go up upon the altar. Thus he did in the house of God to sacrifice to the calves which he made: and he placed in the house of God priests of the heights which he made. 33 And he brought up upon the altar which he made m the house of God, in the fifteenth day, in the eighth month, in the month which he devised of himself; and he will make a festival to the sons of Israel: and he will go up upon the altar to burn incense.
