L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 17:1-41

HOSHEA REIGNING IN ISRAEL (vv.1-4) Hoshea had conspired against and killed Pekah (ch.15:30), so that Hoshea began to reign over Israel in the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah. He reigned only nine years. In common with previous kings of Israel, he did evil in the sight of the Lord, but did not sink to the same wicked level as others had (v.2). At this time Assyria was becoming more and more aggressive and Hoshea found it necessary to submit to the king of Assyria by paying him tribute... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 17:1-6

The Reader will do well, while reading this chapter, to keep in view what the prophets have said concerning the events recorded in those days. The prophets Isaiah and Hosea particularly merit our closest attention. The latter, in his first and second chapters, hath woefully described this unchurching of Israel; : and at the same time comforted the chosen of the Lord with the sure prospects of their becoming a church again. God had indeed called them by the prophet, Lo-ammi, as being no longer... read more

1-6 When the measure of sin is filled up, the Lord will forbear no longer. The inhabitants of Samaria must have endured great affliction. Some of the poor Israelites were left in the land. Those who were carried captives to a great distance, were mostly lost among the nations. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 17:1-23

The End of Israel as a Nation v. 1. In the twelfth year of Ahaz, king of Judah, began Hoshea, the son of Elah, after some eight years of a state bordering on anarchy, to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. v. 2. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, since Jeroboam's calf-worship was not abolished under him, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him, he was not their equal in idolatrous practices. v. 3. Against him came up Shalmaneser, king of Assyria; and... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Kings 17:6-18

2 Kings A KINGDOM’S EPITAPH 2Ki_17:6 - 2Ki_17:18 . The brevity of the account of the fall of Samaria in 2Ki_17:6 contrasts with the long enumeration of the sins which caused it, in the rest of this passage. Modern critics assume that 2Ki_17:7 - 2Ki_17:23 are ‘an interpolation by the Deuteronomic writer,’ apparently for no reason but because they trace Israel’s fall to its cause in idolatry. But surely the bare notice in 2Ki_17:6 , immediately followed by 2Ki_17:24 , cannot have been all... read more
