    the horn in Ramah.
Raise the battle cry in Beth Aven[a];
    lead on, Benjamin.

“Though you, Israel, commit adultery,
    do not let Judah become guilty.
“Do not go to Gilgal;
    do not go up to Beth Aven.[a]
    And do not swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives!’

Hosea 10:5 New International Version (NIV)
5 
The people who live in Samaria fear
    for the calf-idol of Beth Aven.[a]
Its people will mourn over it,
    and so will its idolatrous priests,
those who had rejoiced over its splendor,
    because it is taken from them into exile.
