1 Kings 12:28 in Context — 1 Kings 12
26 Jéroboam dit en son cœur: Le royaume pourrait bien maintenant retourner à la maison de David.
27 Si ce peuple monte à Jérusalem pour faire des sacrifices dans la maison de l’Éternel, le cœur de ce peuple retournera à son seigneur, à Roboam, roi de Juda, et ils me tueront et retourneront à Roboam, roi de Juda.
28 Après s’être consulté, le roi fit deux veaux d’or, et il dit au peuple: Assez longtemps vous êtes montés à Jérusalem; Israël! voici ton Dieu, qui t’a fait sortir du pays d’Égypte.
29 Il plaça l’un de ces veaux à Béthel, et il mit l’autre à Dan.
30 Ce fut là une occasion de péché. Le peuple alla devant l’un des veaux jusqu’à Dan.
