Commentary on Hosea 10:3

Theological / Devotional

Now. Either when the people see the destruction before their eyes or when they are in captivity. No king. As a result of their rejection of the Lord and its accompanying chastisements, Israel would be brought to see and feel that the kings appointed through their own self-will (see on ch. 8:4) would be unable to protect or help them (see on ch. 3:4). This may also refer to Israel’s rejection of the Lord in His double capacity as their God and as their King. This rejection, which began to some extent with the choosing of Saul (see 1 Sam. 8:7), ultimately resulted in spiritual disaster and material distress, and finally in utter ruin.
