Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 1

The mind of God is revealed to this prophet, and by him to the people, in the first three chapters, by signs and types, but afterwards only by discourse. In this chapter we have, I. The general title of the whole book, Hos. 1:1. II. Some particular instructions which he was ordered to give to the people of God. 1. He must convince them of their sin in going a whoring from God, by marrying a wife of whoredoms, Hos. 1:2, 3. 2. He must foretel the ruin coming upon them for their sin, in the names... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 1

I. WE have now before us the twelve minor prophets, which some of the ancients, in reckoning up the books of the Old Testament, put all together, and reckon but as one book. They are called the minor prophets, not because their writings are of any less authority or usefulness than those of the greater prophets, or as if these prophets were less in God's account or might be so in ours than the other, but only because they are shorter, and less in bulk, than the other. We have reason to... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 1:1

1. Here is the prophet's name and surname; which he himself, as other prophets, prefixes to his prophecy, for the satisfaction of all that he is ready to attest what he writes to be of God; he sets his hand to it, as that which he will stand by. His name, Hosea, or Hosea (for it is the very same with Joshua's original name), signifies a saviour; for prophets were instruments of salvation to the people of God, so are faithful ministers; they help to save many a soul from death, by saving it... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 1:2-7

These words, The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea, may refer either, 1. To that glorious set of prophets which was raised up about this time. About this time there lived and prophesied Joel, Amos, Micah, Jonah, Obadiah, and Isaiah; but Hosea was the first of them that foretold the destruction of Israel; the beginning of this word of the Lord was by him. We read in the history of this Jeroboam here named (2 Kgs. 14:27) that the Lord had not yet said he would blot out the name of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 1:8-11

We have here a prediction, I. Of the rejection of Israel for a time, which is signified by the name of another child that Hosea had by his adulterous spouse, Hos. 1:8, 9. And still we must observe that those children whose names carried these direful omens in them to Israel were all children of whoredoms (Hos. 1:2), all born of the harlot that Hosea married, to intimate that the ruin of Israel was the natural product of the sin of Israel. If they had not first revolted from God, they would... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 1

INTRODUCTION TO HOSEA 1 After the general inscription of the book, in which the author, penman, and time of this prophecy, are expressed, Hosea 1:1 , the people of Israel are reproved for their idolatry, under the representation of a harlot the prophet is bid to marry, which he is said to do, Hosea 1:2 , and their ruin and destruction are foretold in the names of the children he had by her, and by what is said on the occasion of the birth of each, Hosea 1:4 , but mercy and salvation... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 1:1

The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea ,.... Whose name is the same with Joshua and Jesus, and signifies a saviour; he was in some things a type of Christ the Saviour, and prophesied of him, and salvation by him; and was the instrument and means of saving men, as all true prophets were, and faithful ministers of the word are: to him the word of the Lord, revealing his mind and will, was brought by the Spirit of God, and impressed upon his mind; and it was committed to him to be delivered... read more

The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea ,.... Or "in Hosea" F9 בהושע εν ωσηε , Sept.; in Hosea, V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Drusius, Tarnovius. ; which was internally revealed to him, and was inspired into him, by the Holy Ghost, who first spoke in him, and then by him; not that Hosea was the first of the prophets to whom the word of the Lord came; for there were Moses, Samuel, David, and others, before him; nor the first of the minor prophets, for Jonah, Joel, and Amos; are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 1:3

So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim ,.... In the course of prophesying he made mention of this person, who was a notorious common strumpet; and suggested hereby that they were just like her; or these were fictitious names he used to represent their case by Gomer signifies both "consummation" and "consumption" F12 A rad. גמר "perfecit, desiit", Gussetius. ; and this harlot is so called, because of her consummate beauty, and her being completely mistress of all the tricks... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 1:4

And the Lord said unto him call his name Jezreel ,.... Which some interpret the "seed of God", as Jerom; or "arm of God", as others; and Kimchi applies it to Jeroboam the son of Joash, who was strong, and prospered in his kingdom; but it rather signifies "God will sow", or "scatter" F14 A rad. זרע "seminavit, disseminavit", Schmidt. ; denoting either their dissension among themselves; or their dispersion among the nations, which afterwards came to pass; and so the Targum, "call their... read more
