Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ And Jeroboam built Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence he built Phanuel.

²⁶ And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David,

²⁷ If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him.
