1 Kings 12:26-28 Jeroboam said in his heart, "Now the kingdom will return to the house of David.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ Jeroboam said in his heart, "Now the kingdom will return to the house of David. ²⁷ If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah." ²⁸ Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look and see your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt."
