He reigned for 22 years in Israel, and he was an evil king. He ordered the placement of the two golden calves in Dan and Bethel. He told the people that the golden calves were their gods, and they did not have to go to Jerusalem to celebrate the feasts. Jeroboam's actions were in direct violation of God's ordinance. He also modified God's law concerning the timing to celebrate the Feast of Atonement, and he changed it from the fifteenth day of the seventh month to the fifteenth day of the eighth month.
