Verse 4
Eze 23:4 And the names of them [were] Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus [were] their names; Samaria [is] Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
Ver. 4. And the names of them were Aholah, ] i.e., Her tent, not mine (so he calleth Samaria, or the ten tribes). What have I to do with it or her Compare 1 Kings 12:16 ; 1Ki 12:28 ; 1 Kings 12:31 . She is gone to her tent, and hath set her up tabernacles, where to worship her golden idols.
The elder. ] So called because more numerous and potent than the other two tribes. She was also first in the defection.
And Aholibah. ] That is, my tent is in her. So Jerusalem is called, because the temple and testimonies of God’s special presence were there, as King Abijah well pleadeth it. 2Ch 13:10-11
Samaria is Aholah. ] In figure she is; though some have held that these were the names of two notorious strumpets in Egypt.
