So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
12：20 以色列众人听见耶罗波安回来了，就打发人去请他到会众面前，立他作以色列众人的王。除了犹大支派以外，没有顺从大卫家的。
And it came to pass， when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again， that they sent and called him unto the congregation， and made him king over all Israel： there was none that followed the house of David， but the tribe of Judah only.
12：21 罗波安来到耶路撒冷，招聚犹大全家和便雅悯支派的人共十八万，都是挑选的战士，要与以色列家争战，好将国夺回，再归所罗门的儿子罗波安。
And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem， he assembled all the house of Judah， with the tribe of Benjamin， an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men， which were warriors， to fight against the house of Israel， to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
12：22 但神的话临到神人示玛雅，说，But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God， saying，
12：23 你去告诉所罗门的儿子犹大王罗波安和犹大，便雅悯全家，并其馀的民说，Speak unto Rehoboam， the son of Solomon， king of Judah， and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin， and to the remnant of the people， saying，
12：24 耶和华如此说，你们不可上去与你们的弟兄以色列人争战。各归各家去吧。因为这事出于我。众人就听从耶和华的话，遵着耶和华的命回去了。
Thus saith the LORD， Ye shall not go up， nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel： return every man to his house； for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD， and returned to depart， according to the word of the LORD.
12：25 耶罗波安在以法莲山地建筑示剑，就住在其中。又从示剑出去，建筑毗努伊勒。
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim， and dwelt therein； and went out from thence， and built Penuel.
12：26 耶罗波安心里说，恐怕这国仍归大卫家。
And Jeroboam said in his heart， Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David：
12：27 这民若上耶路撒冷去，在耶和华的殿里献祭，他们的心必归向他们的主犹大王罗波安，就把我杀了，仍归犹大王罗波安。
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.
12：28 耶罗波安王就筹划定妥，铸造了两个金牛犊，对众民说，以色列人哪，你们上耶路撒冷去实在是难。这就是领你们出埃及地的神。
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.
12：29 他就把牛犊一只安在伯特利，一只安在但。
And he set the one in Bethel， and the other put he in Dan.
12：30 这事叫百姓陷在罪里，因为他们往但去拜那牛犊。
And this thing became a sin： for the people went to worship before the one， even unto Dan.
12：31 耶罗波安在邱坛那里建殿，将那不属利未人的凡民立为祭司。
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.
12：32 耶罗波安定八月十五日为节期，像在犹大的节期一样，自己上坛献祭。他在伯特利也这样向他所铸的牛犊献祭，又将立为邱坛的祭司安置在伯特利。
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.
12：33 他在八月十五日，就是他私自所定的月日，为以色列人立作节期的日子，在伯特利上坛烧香。
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.
