1 Kings 4:23

4:23 ten calves fattened in the stall, twenty calves from the pasture, and a hundred sheep, not to mention rams, gazelles, deer, and well-fed birds.

1 Kings 12:30

12:30 This caused Israel to sin; the people went to Bethel and Dan to worship the calves.


tn The words “in the stall” are added for clarification; note the immediately following reference to cattle from the pasture.

tn Heb “and this thing became a sin.”

tc The MT reads “and the people went before the one to Dan.” It is likely that some words have been accidentally omitted and that the text originally said, “and the people went before the one at Bethel and before the one at Dan.”
