Best Answer

Jeroboam was the chief originator in leading Israel (the Northern Kingdom) into idolatry. This he did by setting up two golden calves for worship and his own priesthood, in an attempt to get the people to stay in the north and not go to Jerusalem to worship as they were meant to.

Jeroboam set up golden calf idols in Bethel and Dan for the people to worship as an alternative to going to Jerusalem for religious ceremonies, so he led the people of Israel into idolatry.

What was Jeroboam's sin?

Jeroboam was the first king of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. His dynasty would have survived had he not condemned himself, his offspring and his nation by his promotion of idolatry (Egyptian golden calf worship) and false religious practices at shines in Dan and Bethel. Whether he was related to Jeroboam biologically or not, no subsequent king of Israel's Northern Kingdom ever discontinued the sin Jeroboam initiated, so the country itself was destroyed in 720 BC by divine judgment.
