Now the Philistines assembled to fight against Israel with three thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and troops as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Michmash, east of Beth-aven.

So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle moved on beyond Beth-aven.

The people of Samaria will fearfor the calf of Beth-aven.Indeed, its people will mournwith its idolatrous priests—those who rejoiced in its glory—for it has been taken from them into exile.

Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel,may Judah avoid such guilt!Do not journey to Gilgal,do not go up to Beth-aven,and do not swear on oath,‘As surely as the LORD lives!’

Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah,the trumpet in Ramah;raise the battle cry in Beth-aven:Lead on, O Benjamin!
