13:1 At the height of its power, the tribe of Ephraim evoked terror among other Israelites (see Isa 7:2). • and thus sealed their destruction (literally and he [Ephraim] died): Because of their idolatry, they had cut themselves off from the Lord, the only true source of life.
13:10 where is your king? When Hoshea’s alliance with Egypt failed (see 12:1), he tried to make peace with Assyria, but he was captured and imprisoned (2 Kgs 17:4). The Israelites had relied on their armies and kings to save them rather than on the Lord, and now there was no one to save them.
13:11 Israel had crowned her kings without consulting the Lord, so now he would take them away in fury.
13:12 God had carefully stored up the record of Israel’s sin and guilt. He could not escape his punishment.
