11:012:026 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return
           to the house of David: 

11:012:027 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the lord
           at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again
           unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they
           shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

11:012:028 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.

11:012:029 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

11:012:030 And this thing became a sin:  for the people went to worship
           before the one, even unto Dan.

11:012:031 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the
           lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

11:012:032 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the
           fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in
           Judah, and he offered upon the altar.  So did he in Bethel,
           sacrificing unto the calves that he had made:  and he placed in
           Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.

11:012:033 So 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 devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the
           children of Israel:  and he offered upon the altar, and burnt
           incense.

11:013:001 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word
           of the lord unto Bethel:  and Jeroboam stood by the altar to
           burn incense.

11:013:002 And he cried against the altar in the word of the lord, and
           said, O altar, altar, thus saith the lord; Behold, a child
           shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and
           upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that
           burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon
           thee.

11:013:003 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign
           which the lord hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent,
           and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

11:013:004 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of
           the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel,
           that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on
           him.  And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up,
           so that he could not pull it in again to him.
