Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 25 is found in chapter 12 of 1 Kings. Jeroboam establishes Shechem and then creates worship centers at Bethel and Dan with golden calves. His reasoning is political: he fears that the people will return to Jerusalem and eventually recognize the house of David again. The decision deliberately alters the cultic system to preserve the new kingdom’s power. Jeroboam’s sin subsequently becomes the standard by which many kings of Israel are evaluated.
