Bethel, also named Beth Aven, was "house of God." It was a town about 10 miles north of Jerusalem. It was here that Abraham encamped (Ge 12:8; 13:3) in this beautiful pastureland. It received the name of Bethel, "house of God," because of Jacob's dream (28:10-22).
Jeroboam chose Bethel as one of the two places in which he set up golden calves (1 Ki 12:28-33). King Josiah removed all traces of idolatry and restored the true worship of Jehovah (2 Ki 23:15-20). But God departed from Bethel, for nothing can label His greatness.
