New English Translation

²⁹He put one in Bethel and the other in Dan. ³⁰This caused Israel to sin;^[a] the people went to Bethel and Dan to worship the calves.^[b]

³¹He built temples^[c] on the high places and appointed as priests common people who were not Levites.

1 Kings 12:30 tn Heb “and this thing became a sin.”
1 Kings 12:30 tc The MT reads “and the people went before the one to Dan.” It is likely that some words have been accidentally omitted and that the text originally said, “and the people went before the one at Bethel and before the one at Dan.”
1 Kings 12:31 tn The Hebrew text has the singular, but the plural is preferable here (see 1 Kgs 13:32). The Old Greek translation and the Vulgate have the plural.
