Editing Sukkot (section)

== Sukkot in the generations of Israel ==
=== Jeroboam's feast ===
According to {{bibleverse|1|Kings|12:32–33|CJB}}, King [[Jeroboam]], first king of the rebellious [[Kingdom of Israel (Samaria)|northern kingdom]], instituted a feast on the fifteenth day of the [[Cheshvan|eighth month]] in imitation of the feast of Sukkot in Judah, and pilgrims went to [[Bethel]] instead of Jerusalem to make thanksgiving offerings. Jeroboam feared that continued pilgrimages from the northern kingdom to Jerusalem could lead to pressure for reunion with Judah:
{{blockquote|1=If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn back to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me and go back to Rehoboam king of Judah.|source={{bibleverse|1|Kings|12:27|NKJV}}}}
