Bible Answer:  Additional notes to my brother's excellent response ...

Bethel and Dan were wrong alternate places of worship (1 Kin 12:25-33) ... tho it was a place where Jacob met God (Gen 28:11-19, 35:1-7).
Gilgal was where Israel's entered into Canaan (Jos 5:1-12).
- Beersheba had strong connections with thier fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Gen 21:22-34, 22:19, 26:32-33, 28:10).

These were places of empty and vain worship.

There is more on these places in Amos
