호세아 1:4-6 KRV

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 1:3-4

Hosea obediently married Gomer (probably meaning "completion"), the daughter of Diblaim ("fig cakes"). She bore Hosea a son whom the Lord told the prophet to name "Jezreel." The Lord also prescribed the names of Isaiah’s sons (Isaiah 7:3; Isaiah 8:3-4), Messiah (Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6), and many other entities. He also assigned the symbolic names Oholah and Oholibah to Samaria and Jerusalem (Ezekiel 23). The name "Jezreel" means "God sows" (by scattering seed), but it was not just the meaning... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 1:5

This name of Hosea’s first son would also point to a future judgment that would also take place in the valley near Jezreel. It would happen on "that day," namely, a future unspecified day. Yahweh promised to break Israel’s military strength, symbolized by an archer’s bow, there then. The Assyrian king Tiglath-Pilesar III fulfilled this prophecy when he invaded and defeated Israel there in 733 B.C. (2 Kings 15:29; cf. 2 Kings 17:3-5). Gideon had defeated the Midianites in this valley (Judges... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 1:6

After some time Gomer bore Hosea a daughter. Some scholars believed that Hosea fathered only the first child and that Gomer’s other children were born of fornication. [Note: E.g., Charles H. Dyer, in The Old Testament Explorer, p. 725; and F. F. Bruce, The Letter of Paul to the Romans: An Introduction and Commentary, pp. 184-85.] The Lord told Hosea to name this girl "Lo-ruhamah," meaning, "She is not loved," because He would not have compassion on Israel to forgive her for her sins. This was... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 1:1-11

Hosea's Marriage and its Lessons1. A general heading. Hosea 1:2-9. The prophet's marriage with Gomer, the birth of her three children, and the symbolical meaning attached to them. Hos 1:1 to Hosea 2:1. The future material and religious prosperity of the people.1. A general heading, perhaps the work of a late Judæan editor. Hosea 1-3 probably belong to the time of Jeroboam II; but it is extremely improbable that any of the prophecies belong to so late a date as the days of Hezekiah, when the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hosea 1:4

(4) Jezreel means “God shall sow.” The prophet had already discovered the faithlessness of his spouse, and that his married life was symbolic of his nation’s history. Observe the resemblance in sound between Jezreel and Israel, and the historic associations of the former. It was the name of a very fertile plain in the tribe of Issachar, which was many times the scene of terrible struggles (Judges 4:13; Judges 6:33; Judges 7:1; 1 Samuel 29:1). It was also the name of a town associated with the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hosea 1:5

(5) I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.—Jehu was to be punished for the assassination of Ahab’s descendants. Though the destruction of the house of Ahab was divinely appointed, its value was neutralised by Jehu’s tolerance of the calf-worship. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hosea 1:6

(6) Lo-ruhamah.—“Unloved,” or, perhaps, “unpitied.” The prophet’s growing despondency about his country’s future is revealed in her name. The rest of the verse is best rendered—For I will no longer have pity on the house of Israel, that I should indeed forgive them. read more
