In context

25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. And from there he went out and built Penuel.

26Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom might revert to the house of David.

27If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, their hearts will return to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah; then they will kill me and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”

28After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves and said to the people, “Going up to Jerusalem is too much for you. Here, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”

29One calf he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan.
