24Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not goe vp, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: returne euery 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. 25¶ Then Ieroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein, and went out from thence, and built Penuel. 26And Ieroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdome returne to the house of Dauid: 27If this people goe vp, to doe sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Ierusalem, then shall the heart of this people turne againe vnto their lorde, euen vnto Rehoboam king of Iudah, and they shall kill mee, and goe againe to Rehoboam king of Iudah. 28Whereupon the king tooke counsell, and made two calues of gold, and said vnto them, It is too much for you to goe vp to Ierusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt.

12:26 Said, &c. - Reasoned within himself. The phrase discovers thefountain of his error, that he did not consult with God, who had givenhim the kingdom; as in all reason, and justice, and gratitude he shouldhave done: nor believed God's promise, chap.#11:38|, but his owncarnal policy.
