Scofield
Beth-el
One of the sacred places of Canaan, meaning, house of God Genesis 28:1-22, (See Scofield "Genesis 35:7") .
It is characteristic of all apostasy that Jeroboam chose this sacred place in which to erect an idol I Kings 12:28,32. (Cf) I Kings 13:1-5 and of divine judgment upon apostasy that God should decree the destruction of Bethel, despite its sacred memories ; I Kings 13:1-5; II Kings 23:15-17; Amos 3:14,15.
God never hesitates to cast aside that which no longer serves His purpose Revelation 2:5; 3:16.
