Jeroboam devised worship at Dan and Bethel, though he pretended by it to worship the true God, and advance the worship of Jehovah; yet he worshipped nothing but the Devils, and Calves that he made, 2 Chron. 11. 15. And it became a sin to Jeroboam and his house, to ⟨p. 51⟩destroy it root and branch, and all the Kings that countenanced and upheld it; 1 Kin. 13. 34. 2 Kin. 17. 21, 22, 23. But such as feared the Lord amongst them, both Levites and Priests, left their Cities, and possession; and of the people, such as set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel, came to Jerusalem: So Jeroboam's Kingdom weakened; but Rehoboam, that gave liberty of conscience to worship the true God, strengthened; 2 Chron. 11. 16, 17.
