Beth-Aven:
house of nothingness; i.e., "of idols", a place in the mountains of Benjamin, east of Bethel (Jos 7:2; 18:12; 1Sa 13:5). In Hsa 4:15; 5:8; 10:5 it stands for "Bethel" (q.v.), and it is so called because it was no longer the "house of God," but "the house of idols," referring to the calves there worshipped.
Beth-Aven:
the house of vanity; of iniquity of trouble
Beth-Aven:
beth-a'-ven (beth ‘awen; Baithon, Baithaun): A place on the northern boundary of the territory of Benjamin (Jos 18:12) East of Bethel, near Ai (Jos 7:2), West of Michmash (1Sa 13:5; 14:23). Beth-aven, "house of vanity," i.e. "idolatry," may possibly represent an original beth-'on, "house of wealth." Wilson (PEFS, 1869, 126) suggests Khirbet An, West of Michmash. The name is used in mockery for Bethel by Hosea (4:15; 10:5,8, etc.; compare Am 5:5).
