1. Amos 8:14 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Why is Amos referring to Dan and Beersheba's god?

Amos 8:14 (ESV)

14 Those who swear by the Guilt of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’ and, ‘As the Way of Beersheba lives,’ they shall fall, and never rise again.”

The combination of Dan and Beersheba was Amos’s way of tarring the entire land (Judges 20:1), far north to deep south, with the brush of idolatry.1
