Read Hosea 10.9-15. Israel is compared to a female calf (v.11), once obedient but now plowing wickedness. In verse 9: For Hosea's criticism of Gibeah, see 9.9. In verse 14: Neither Salman nor Beth-arbel can be positively identified, though some have suggested that Shalman is a shortened form of Shalmaneser V, who imprisoned Israel's last king, Hoshea and laid siege to Samaria (2 Kings 17.3-5). In verse 15: Bethel was, one of Israel's major religious sanctuaries. Comments or Questions..
