1 Kings 12:28-30
Easy-to-Read Version
28 So the king asked his advisors what to do. They gave him their advice, and King Jeroboam made two golden calves. He said to the people, “You don’t have to go to Jerusalem to worship anymore. Israel, these are the gods that brought you out of Egypt.[a]” 29 King Jeroboam put one golden calf in Bethel and the other one in the city of Dan.[b] 30 What a terrible sin this was, because the Israelites started going to the cities of Dan and Bethel[c] to worship the calves.
