26 E disse Jeroboão em seu coração: Agora se voltará o reino à casa de Davi,

27 Se este povo subir a sacrificar à casa do SENHOR em Jerusalém: porque o coração deste povo se converterá a seu senhor Roboão rei de Judá, e me matarão a mim, e se tornarão a Roboão rei de Judá.

28 E havido conselho, fez o rei dois bezerros de ouro, e disse ao povo: Demais subistes a Jerusalém: eis que teus deuses, ó Israel, que te fizeram subir da terra do Egito.

29 E pôs o um em Betel, e o outro pôs em Dã.

30 E isto foi ocasião de pecado; porque o povo ia a adorar diante do um, até Dã.
