1. The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea —See :- Jeroboam —the second; who died in the fifteenth year of Uzziah's forty-one years' reign. From his time forth all Israel's kings worshipped false gods: Zachariah ( 2 Kings 15:9 ), Menahem ( 2 Kings 15:18 ), Pekahiah ( 2 Kings 15:18- : ), Pekah ( 2 Kings 15:28 ), Hoshea ( 2 Kings 17:2 ). As Israel was most flourishing externally under Jeroboam II, who recovered the possessions seized on by Syria, Hosea's prophecy of its downfall at that time was the more striking as it could not have been foreseen by mere human sagacity. Jonah the prophet had promised success to Jeroboam II from God, not for the king's merit, but from God's mercy to Israel; so the coast of Israel was restored by Jeroboam II from the entering of Hamath to the sea of the plain ( 2 Kings 17:2- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
