Thus, as we have seen, the name of Beth-el is transcribed from its Babylonian form of Bit-sa-ili, the Assyrian equivalent of the Hebrew Beth-el. The names have been copied from the memoranda of the scribes in the order in which they occurred, and without any regard to their relative importance.
Beth-sha-el, on the contrary, is Beth-el.
