Bethaven. [Beth-a'ven]A place or 'wilderness' of Benjamin near Bethel. Joshua 7:2; Joshua 18:12; 1 Sam. 13:5; 1 Sam. 14:23; Hosea 4. 15; Hosea 5:8; Hosea 10:5. Though this is said to be on the east of Bethel, in Hosea it would appear to be a name given to Bethel itself as being no longer the 'house of God,' but the 'house of vanity' because of the idols there.
