1 Kings 12:26-27

Tree of Life Version

Jeroboam Resorts to Idolatry

²⁶ But Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom may return to the house of David. ²⁷ If this people keep going up to offer sacrifices in the House of Adonai at Jerusalem, then the heart of these people will turn back to their lord—to King Rehoboam of Judah. Then they will kill me and return to King Rehoboam of Judah.”
