Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 1:1-11

Hosea 1:1 . Hosea, the son of Beeri. The prophets named their parents, not only to distinguish themselves from others of that name, but to mark that they were sons of prophets, or that their fathers were men of note and worth in the estimation of the church. Hosea 1:2 . Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms. Some would suggest, that as idolatry is called whoredom, the prophet married a woman who worshipped idols. Hosea 1:4 . Call his name Jezreel, meaning that God would disperse... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Hosea 1:7

Hosea 1:7But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, and I will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.The vanity of the positive philosophyThe first three chapters are symbolic, and directed chiefly against the Ten Tribes, whom Hosea addresses as Israel and Ephraim. Hosea condemned their departure from the Almighty, as being a sort of spiritual adultery. One sign was an undue reliance upon material and temporal... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hosea 1:7

Hos 1:7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. Ver. 7. But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah ] The ark and the mercy seat were never separated. Judah had not utterly cast off God, as Israel had; but worshipped God in the temple (how. corruptly soever), therefore they shall have mercy, because they kept the right way of worship. See the Church’s plea... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Hosea 1:7

But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.Save them — I will preserve them, that violence do not swallow them up, nor length of captivity wear them out; and this preserved remnant shall return and be planted in their own land, and there kept in safety.By the Lord — Particularly in that extraordinary deliverance of Hezekiah and Jerusalem, from Sennacherib. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 1:2-9

HOSEA’S WIFE AND CHILDREN, Hosea 1:2-9. The prophet relates how, at the divine command, he took in marriage a wife of whoredoms, Gomer the daughter of Diblaim. By her he had three children, to whom he gave names symbolic of the truths he taught: Jezreel, symbolizing the overthrow of the dynasty of Jehu; Lo-ruhamah, announcing that Jehovah will have no more mercy upon Israel; and Lo-ammi, symbolizing the utter rejection of Israel. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 1:6-7

6, 7. Birth of Lo-ruhamah. 6. The second child of the union was a daughter. Lo-ruhamah Meaning She is not pitied, or loved; that is, she does not experience the love which is ordinarily bestowed by parents upon their children. The reason for giving this name is also stated. Israel, the child of Jehovah (Hosea 11:1), is no longer loved or pitied by him to the extent that a child might expect love and pity; but Jehovah has not yet entirely cast off the people (Hosea 1:9). But I will... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 1:7

7. While Jehovah will not interfere in behalf of Israel, he will have mercy upon the southern kingdom. Judah The prophet seems to think that Judah is in better religious and moral condition than Israel (Hosea 4:15). In reality, judging from the messages of Isaiah and Micah, the two eighth century prophets of Judah, there was little difference between the conditions in the two kingdoms. And if the references to Judah in Hosea 5:5; Hosea 5:10; Hosea 5:12-14; Hosea 6:4; Hosea 6:11; Hosea... read more
