12:28 Two gold calves would strike a responsive chord regarding Israel’s history (Exod 32; esp. 32:4). Similar religious practices, associated with the Canaanite god Baal-Hadad, also appealed to the remaining Canaanite population in the northern kingdom. Jeroboam’s intentions compromised true worship and caused religious confusion (see 1 Kgs 14:9; Hos 8:6).
