Amos 3:14
_ _ That — rather, “since,” or “for.” This verse is not, as English Version translates, the thing which the witnesses cited are to “testify” (Amos 3:13), but the reason why God calls on the heathen to witness Samaria’s guilt; namely, in order to justify the punishment which He declares He will inflict.
_ _ I will also visit ... Beth-el — the golden calves which were the source of all “the transgressions of Israel” (1 Kings 12:32; 1 Kings 13:2; 2 Kings 23:15, 2 Kings 23:16), though Israel thought that by them their transgressions were atoned for and God’s favor secured.
_ _ horns of the altar — which used to be sprinkled with the blood of victims. They were horn-like projecting points at the corners of ancient altars. The singular, “altar,” refers to the great altar erected by Jeroboam to the calves. The “altars,” plural, refer to the lesser ones made in imitation of the great one (2 Chronicles 34:5, compare with 1 Kings 13:2; Hosea 8:11; Hosea 10:1). |

Amos 9:1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
1 Kings 13:2-5 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. ... The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
2 Kings 23:15 Moreover the altar that [was] at Bethel, [and] the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, [and] stamped [it] small to powder, and burned the grove.
2 Chronicles 31:1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

Hosea 10:5-8 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof [that] rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it. ... The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
Hosea 10:14-15 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon [her] children. ... So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
Micah 1:6-7 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, [and] as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof. ... And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
