1 Kings 12:30-32
New King James Version
30 Now this thing became (A)a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan. 31 He made [a]shrines on the high places, (B)and made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
32 Jeroboam [b]ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like (C)the feast that was in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. (D)And at Bethel he installed the priests of the high places which he had made.
