Hosea 7:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. All their kings are fallen - There was a pitiful slaughter among the idolatrous kings of Israel; four of them had fallen in the time of this prophet. Zechariah was slain by Shallum; Shallum, by Menahem; Pekahiah, by Pekah; and Pekah, by Hoshea, 2 Kings 15. All were idolaters, and all came to an untimely death.
