1 Kings 12:23-33

12:23

Speak
<0559> (8798)

unto Rehoboam
<07346>_,

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and unto all the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>_,

and to the remnant
<03499>

of the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

12:24

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Ye shall not go up
<05927> (8799)_,

nor fight
<03898> (8735)

against your brethren
<0251>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

return
<07725> (8798)

every man
<0376>

to his house
<01004>_;

for this thing
<01697>

is
<01961> (8738)

from me. They hearkened
<08085> (8799)

therefore to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

12:25

Then Jeroboam
<03379>

built
<01129> (8799)

Shechem
<07927>

in mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

therein; and went out
<03318> (8799)

from thence, and built
<01129> (8799)

Penuel
<06439>_.

12:26

And Jeroboam
<03379>

said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

Now shall the kingdom
<04467>

return
<07725> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_:

12:27

If this people
<05971>

go up
<05927> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

sacrifice
<02077>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

then shall the heart
<03820>

of this people
<05971>

turn again
<07725> (8804)

unto their lord
<0113>_,

[even] unto Rehoboam
<07346>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and they shall kill
<02026> (8804)

me, and go again
<07725> (8804)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_.

12:28

Whereupon the king
<04428>

took counsel
<03289> (8735)_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

two
<08147>

calves
<05695>

[of] gold
<02091>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, It is too much
<07227>

for you to go up
<05927> (8800)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_:

behold thy gods
<0430>_,

O Israel
<03478>_,

which brought thee up
<05927> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

12:29

And he set
<07760> (8799)

the one
<0259>

in Bethel
<01008>_,

and the other
<0259>

put
<05414> (8804)

he in Dan
<01835>_.

12:30

And this thing
<01697>

became a sin
<02403>_:

for the people
<05971>

went
<03212> (8799)

[to worship] before
<06440>

the one
<0259>_,

[even] unto Dan
<01835>_.

12:31

And he made
<06213> (8799)

an house
<01004>

of high places
<01116>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

priests
<03548>

of the lowest
<07098>

of the people
<05971>_,

which were not of the sons
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>_.

12:32

And Jeroboam
<03379>

ordained
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<02282>

in the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

on the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>_,

like unto the feast
<02282>

that [is] in Judah
<03063>_,

and he offered
<05927> (8686)

upon the altar
<04196>_.

So did
<06213> (8804)

he in Bethel
<01008>_,

sacrificing
<02076> (8763)

unto the calves
<05695>

that he had made
<06213> (8804)_:

and he placed
<05975> (8689)

in Bethel
<01008>

the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)_.

{offered...: or, went up to the altar, etc} {sacrificing: or, to sacrifice}

12:33

So he offered
<05927> (8686)

upon the altar
<04196>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)

in Bethel
<01008>

the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

[even] in the month
<02320>

which he had devised
<0908> (8804)

of his own heart
<03820>_;

and ordained
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<02282>

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and he offered
<05927> (8686)

upon the altar
<04196>_,

and burnt incense
<06999> (8687)_.

{offered...: or, went up to the altar, etc} {and burnt...: Heb. to burn incense}
