In context
26Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom might revert to the house of David.
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.
30And this thing became a sin; the people walked as far as Dan to worship before one of the calves.
