I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath - true both of Saul (1 Samuel 15:22-23; 1 Samuel 16:1) and of Jeroboam's line (1 Kings 15:25-27; 2 Kings 15:30). Pekah was taken away through Hoshea, as himself took away Pekahiah, and as Hoshea was soon to be taken away by the Assyrian king.
