Read Hosea 1.1 Title.
The reigns of these Judean kings span almost a hundred years (783-687 BCE), while the reign of the single Israelite king mentioned, Jeroboam, lasts for only 41 of these years (786-746).
Since Hosea's speeches are directed to Israel in particular and reflect events leading up to its fall to Assyria in 721 BCE, it is peculiar that the six kings who followed Jeroboam to the throne of Israel during this time are not mentioned here.
