Bible Verses About Offence: Jeroboam

Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David.

If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the LORD’s house 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.”

Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, “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!”

He set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

This thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even to Dan.
