| Amos 5:5
| But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgal, neither shall you pass over to Bersabee: for Galgal shall go into captivity, and Bethel shall be unprofitable.
| Bethel,...Galgal,...Bersabee. The places where they worshipped their idols. (Challoner) --- They had all been honoured by the patriarchs. Bersabee had belonged to Juda under Achab, 3 Kings 19:3. But it was originally in the tribe of Simeon, and Jeroboam II recovered all that had been lost, 4 Kings 14:25. (Calmet) --- Unprofitable. Hebrew leaven, "for vanity," (Haydock) Bethaven.
