“But prophesy not again any more at Beth–el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.”
The statement that Bethel is the king's sanctuary and a temple of the kingdom indicates the political character of the religious institution. The prohibition of prophecy at Bethel indicates the suppression of the prophetic voice.
