3 Kings 12:33
And he went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went upon the altar to burn incense.

Haydock's commentary
To: literally, "up on," (super) as at the end of the verse. (Haydock)
The altars were very high and large. (Calmet)
Month. Septuagint add, "on the festival which," &c. (Menochius)
Heart. Hebrew reads millibod, (præter) instead of molbu, (ex corde suo.) Some manuscripts retain the latter word, as it is printed also in the marginal keri. Leusden tells us, we are by no means to say it is the truer reading, because then the text must be allowed to be corrupted; but it only explains what is meant by præter, "besides." A marvellous explanation! and perhaps it is only to be paralleled by ei explained by non. (Kennicott)
Jeroboam has a mind to do honour to his new worship, and unites in his own person the sacerdotal and regal dignity, as the Roman emperors did. (Calmet)
Incense. Septuagint, "to sacrifice." (Haydock)
From this period, many learned men date the 390 years of the iniquity of Israel, Ezechiel iv. 5. (Du Hamel)
