Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 12:11-13

Hosea 12:11-13. Is there iniquity in Gilead? Or, Was there idolatry in Gilead? as the word און often signifies. Surely they are vanity, &c., in Gilgal The tribes settled about Gilead beyond Jordan, were already captivated by Tiglath-pileser.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 12:1-14

Deceit and wilfulness (11:12-12:14)Israel’s political agreements with foreign nations, whether concerning trade or defence, are unlawful in God’s eyes. They are based on lies and dishonesty (11:12-12:1).Such deceit has been a characteristic of Israel from the time of the nation’s forefather, Jacob (the original Israel).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 12:12

"And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep."This was spoken by way of reminder to Ephraim who now styled himself as a rich man, that he was, in fact, descended from a man who was a servant, not much better off than a slave, in Padan-Aram, where he served his uncle Laban for fourteen years for his wife.
