何西阿书 5:8-9 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 5:8-15

Here is, I. A loud alarm sounded, giving notice of judgments coming (Hos. 5:8): Blow you the cornet in Gibeah and in Ramah, two cities near together in the confines of the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel, Gibeah a frontier-town of the kingdom of Judah, Ramah of Israel; so that the warning is hereby sent into both kingdoms. ?Cry aloud at Beth-aven, or Bethel, which place seems to be already seized upon by the enemy, and therefore the trumpet is not sounded there, but you hear the outcries of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 5:8

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah ,.... As an alarm of war, to give notice that the enemy is at hand, just ready to invade the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and bring destruction upon them; according to the Targum, the words are directed to the prophets, "O ye prophets, lift up your voice like a trumpet;' to declare to the people of Judah their sins and transgressions, and the punishment that would be inflicted on them for them; or it may be, this is a call of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 5:9

Ephraim shall he desolate in the day of rebuke ,.... The country of the ten tribes shall be laid desolate, the inhabitants of them destroyed either by the sword, or famine, or pestilence, and the rest carried captive, as they were by Shalmaneser; and this was the day of the Lord's rebuke and chastisement of them: or of the reward of their sins, as the Targum, when the Lord punished them for them; and this is what the trumpet was to be blown for, in order to give notice of, or to call for... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:8

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah - Gibeah and Ramah were cities of Judah, in the tribe of Benjamin. After thee, O Benjamin - An abrupt call of warning. "Benjamin, fly for thy life! The enemy is just behind thee!" This is a prediction of the invasion of the Assyrians, and the captivity of the ten tribes. read more

Among the tribes of Israel have I made known - They have got sufficient warning; it is their own fault that they have not taken it. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:8

Verse 8 The Prophet speaks here more emphatically, and there is in these words a certain lively representation; for the Prophet assumes here the character of a herald, or he introduces heralds who declare and proclaim war. The truth itself ought indeed to storm not only our ears, but also our hearts, and be more powerful than any trumpet: but we yet see how unconcerned we are. Hence the Lord is constrained here to clothe his servant with the character of a herald, or at least he bids his... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:9

Verse 9 Here the Prophet asserts, without any figure, that their chastisement would not be slight or paternal, but that God would punish the Israelites as they deserved, that he would reduce them to nothing. God, we know, sometimes spares the ungodly, while he chastises them: signs of his wrath daily appear through the whole world; but at the same time they are moderate punishments which God inflicts on men; and he in a manner invites them to repentance, when he thus mercifully chastises their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:1-10

National sin and punishment. The general strain of this chapter is similar to that of the preceding. "The judgment" ( Hosea 5:1 ) which has already been pronounced there is still continued. In Hosea 4:1-19 ; however, Judah was addressed as occupying a different position, morally and religiously, from Israel; whereas here the southern kingdom is represented as sharing in Israel's guilt and condemnation. It would appear, therefore, that when the warning of Hosea 4:15 was uttered,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:6-10

No place found for repentance. They would seek the Lord with sacrifices from the flock and from the herd, but they would not find him; they multiplied sacrifices, but the Lord had withdrawn himself. Thus in the New Testament we read that Esau "found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears;" or, according to the Revised Version, "even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected (for he found no place of repentance), though he sought it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:8

An earnest ministry. "Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin." The prophet in vision sees Divine judgment coming on the rebellious nation, and commands an alarm to be given of the approach of the enemy. Gileah ( Joshua 18:28 ) and Ramah (18:25) were two elevated places in the tribe of Benjamin, and were well adapted for signals on account of their lofty elevation. The introduction of these particular towns, which did not... read more
