Revised Geneva Translation

²⁵ Then Jeroboam built Shechem on Mount Ephraim and dwelt in it and went from there and built Penuel.

²⁶ And Jeroboam thought in his heart, “Now shall the kingdom return to the House of David.

²⁷ “If this people goes up and does sacrifice in the House of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the hearts of this people turn back to their lord, to Rehoboam, king of Judah. So shall they kill me and go back to Rehoboam, king of Judah.”
