1 Kings 12:31-33
1599 Geneva Bible
31 Also he made an [a]house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
32 And Jeroboam made a feast the [b]fifteenth day of the eighth month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and offered on the altar. So did he in Bethel and offered unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the Priests of the high places, which he had made.
33 And he offered upon the altar, which he had made in Bethel, the fifteenth day of the eighth month, (even in the month which he had forged of his own heart) and made a solemn feast unto the children of Israel, and he went up to the altar, to burn incense.
