And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
Jeroboam organized a festival in the eighth month on the 15th day, like Judah's festival, and he offered sacrifices. This happened in Bethel, where he sacrificed to the bull statues he created. He also put the high-place priests from those statues in Bethel.
