Footnotes
- 5:13 Ephraim went…king: in 738 the Israelite king Menahem had to pay tribute to the Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III, whose vassal he became (2 Kgs 15:19–20). Under the threat of the Syro-Ephraimite invasion King Ahaz of Judah also submitted to Tiglath-pileser (2 Kgs 16:7–9). Great king: Heb. melek-yarev; may be a proper name: King Yarev, but unknown; or “the defender king”: irony about the great king of Assyria (see note on 10:6).
Hosea 10:6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 It too will be carried to Assyria,
as an offering to the great king.[a](A)
Ephraim will be put to shame,
Israel will be shamed by his schemes.
