28 Consequently the king took counsel+ and made two golden calves+ and said to the people:* “It is too much for YOU to go up to Jerusalem. Here is your God,*+ O Israel, that brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”+

33 And Aʹhab went on to make the sacred pole;*+ and Aʹhab came to do more to offend+ Jehovah the God of Israel than all the kings of Israel that happened to be prior to him.
