1 Kings 12:28 In-Context

26 Then Jeroboam said to himself, "Now the kingdom may well revert to the house of David.
27 If this people continues to go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, the heart of this people will turn again to their master, King Rehoboam of Judah; they will kill me and return to King Rehoboam of Judah."
28 So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. He said to the people, "You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt."
29 He set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
30 And this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one at Bethel and before the other as far as Dan.
