Read Amos 3.13-15 Judgment on Bethel.
Located in the southern part of Israel, Bethel, together with Dan in the north,
was one of Israel's major religious center.
The judgment against Israel's houses (v. 15) that follows the judgment on Bethel
contains an implicit criticism of the rich.
Israel's wealthiest citizens built winter houses in the Jordan valley to escape the cold winter climate in the mountains of Samaria, and they made furniture inlaid with ivory for their homes (6.4).
