When the Kingdom split after Solomon's death, the ten tribes of the "Northern Kingdom" were ruled by Jeroboam who built an altar at Bethel to worship God to keep his subjects from going to Jerusalem to worship (1 Kings 12:15-33). It became a place of false worship for the Samaritans as mentioned in John 4.

Not the number, just the location. Ever since King David was ruler, the place was called the city of David.

It is perfectly clear to me that Shechem/Mt. Gerizim was the original Beth El -- the site of Jacobs ladder, where he would return and consecrate. Benjamite Beth El is too far away from the original Shalem (Salim), by Shechem for the pilgrimage taken by the family to fulfill Jacobs vow.

However, these only two prophets before Israel fell talk only of one Bethel. Finds from Jerusalem do not show that there was the City of David in the 10th century, Milla and the so called palace need not be David's. I think a simple solution is that Bethel was the northern Bethel. That was the capital of Judea. Jebusites were still in Jerusalem. j2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08778809455142134494noreply@blogger.com
