Jeremiah 48:13

shall be ashamed See on Jeremiah 2:26.

was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence Bethel was the southern seat of Jeroboam's idolatrous worship. But Israel found their confidence in the worship there misplaced, when Shalmaneser carried them away. Cp. Amos 5:5. Pe. remarks that the mention of Bethel and not Jerusalem in this connexion is a noteworthy proof that this ch. contains a pre-exilic element.
