Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Verse 28 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.
