1 Kings 12:28-30

Living Bible

²⁸ So on the advice of his counselors, the king had two golden calf idols made and told the people, “It’s too much trouble to go to Jerusalem to worship; from now on these will be your gods—they rescued you from your captivity in Egypt!”

²⁹ One of these calf idols was placed in Bethel and the other in Dan. ³⁰ This was of course a great sin, for the people worshiped them.
