“Blow the horn
In Gibeah!
Blow the trumpet
In Ramah!
Sound the alarm
At Beth-aven!
Tremble!
O Benjamin!”
Yahweh, via Hosea, wanted them to blow the horn in Gibeah, a hill about 5 miles north of Jerusalem. They were to blow the horn at Ramah, a place near Mizpah. Then they were to sound the alarm at Beth-aven, Bethel, the capital of the northern Israelite kingdom. Benjamin should also tremble, because it was between Ephraim and Judah.
