1 Kings, Chapter 12, verses 26-33

²⁶ Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David. ²⁷ If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will return to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.” ²⁸ So the king^kconsulted, and made two golden calves, and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold your gods, O Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt.” ²⁹ He set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan. ³⁰ Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan. ³¹ And he made houses on high places, and made priests from among^lall the people who were not of the sons of Levi. ³² Jeroboam^minstituted a feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast which is in Judah, and heⁿwent up to the altar; thus he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made. And he stationed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. ³³ Then he^owent up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had^pdevised^qin his own heart; and he^rinstituted a feast for the sons of Israel and^swent up to the altar to burn^tincense.
