Commentary

Commentary on Hosea 5:8

Theological / Devotional

Cornet. Heb. shophar (see Vol. III, p. 39). Hosea presents a graphic picture of Israel’s enemies as already on the march to execute the divine judgment.

Gibeah. Gibeah and Ramah were located in Benjamin, near its northern boundary and within the southern kingdom. They were suitable for giving signals of approaching danger because of their being situated on eminences.

Beth-aven. For comment see on ch. 4:15.
