1 Kings 12 26-1 Kings 12 33
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: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.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.And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.And this thing became a sin: for the people went[ to worship] before the one,[ even] unto Dan.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.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.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.

Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land[ that was] not sown.Israel[ was] holiness unto the LORD,[ and] the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.

Psalms 45:11-16
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he[ is] thy Lord; and worship thou him.And the daughter of Tyre[ shall be there] with a gift;[ even] the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.The king’s daughter[ is] all glorious within: her clothing[ is] of wrought gold.She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
