- the calves:
- "Thy calf,ª O Samaria,ª hath cast²° [thee] off;¹ mine angerª is kindledª° against them: how long¹¹ [will it be] ereª they attainª° to innocency?ª ... For¹ from Israelª¹ [was] it¹ also: the workmanª madeª° it;¹ therefore it [is] not¹ God:ª but¹ the calfª of Samariaª shall be¹ broken in pieces.ª" {Hsa 8:5-6} + "And now¹ they sinª° more and more,ª° and have madeª° them molten imagesª of their silver,ª¹ [and] idolsª according to their own understanding,ª all¹ of it the workª of the craftsmen:ª they¹ sayª° of them, Let the menª that sacrificeª° kissª° the calves.ª" {Hsa 13:2} + "Whereupon the kingª took counsel,ª° and madeª° twoª calvesª [of] gold,ª and saidª° unto¹ them, It is too muchª for you to go upª°¹ to Jerusalem:ª behold¹ thy gods,ª O Israel,ª which¹ brought¹ thee up²° out of the landª¹ of Egypt.ª ... And Jeroboamª ordainedª° a feastª in the eighthª month,ª on the fifteenthªª dayª of the month,ª like unto the feastª that¹ [is] in Judah,ª and he offeredª° upon¹ the altar.ª So¹ didª° he in Bethel,ª sacrificingª° unto the calvesª that¹ he had made:ª° and he placedª° in Bethelª¹ the priestsª of the high placesª which¹ he had made.ª°" {1Kg 12:28-32} + "Howbeit¹ [from] the sinsª of Jeroboamª the sonª of Nebat,ª who¹ made¹ Israelª to sin,ª° Jehuª departedª° not¹ from afterª¹ them, [to wit], the goldenª calvesª that¹ [were] in Bethel,ª and that¹ [were] in Dan.ª" {2Kg 10:29} + "And they leftª°¹ all¹ the commandmentsª of the LORDª their God,ª and madeª° them molten images,ª [even] twoª calves,ª and madeª° a grove,ª and worshippedª° all¹ the hostª of heaven,ª and servedª°¹ Baal.ª" {2Kg 17:16} + "And he ordainedª° him priestsª for the high places,ª and for the devils,ª and for the calvesª which¹ he had made.ª°" {2Ch 11:15} + "And now¹ ye¹ thinkª° to withstandª° the kingdomª² of the LORDª in the handª of the sonsª of David;ª and ye¹ [be] a greatª multitude,ª and [there are] with¹ you goldenª calves,ª which¹ Jeroboamª madeª° you for gods.ª" {2Ch 13:8}
