Jeroboam unveils the "golden calf" at Bethel

Jeroboam ("increase of the people"), the son of Nebat, (1 Kings 11:26-39), was the first king of the break-away ten tribes or Kingdom of Israel, over whom he reigned for 22 years. As such, he was the founder of the northern Kingdom of Israel, which lasted until the Assyrian invasions and the exile of the Israelites in 722 B.C.E. He became infamous in the Bible for creating national shrines at Bethel and Dan that competed with the Kingdom of Judah's Temple of Jerusalem.

-text='''Miles Dewey Davis III''' (May 26, 1926  &ndash; September 28, 1991) was one of the most distinguished [[jazz]] musicians of the latter half of the twentieth century. A trumpeter, band leader, and composer, Davis was at the forefront of almost every major development in jazz from [[World War II]] to the 1990s. His sound recordings, along with the live performances of his many influential bands, were vital in jazz's acceptance as music with lasting artistic value. As an increasingly well-paid and fashionably-dressed jazz musician, Davis was also a symbol of jazz music's commercial potential.}}
