is there no king in thee? - asked tauntingly. There is a king in her; but it is the same as if there were none, so helpless to devise means of escape are he and his counselors [Maurer]. Or, Zion’s pains are because her king is taken away from her (Jer 52:9; Lam 4:20; Eze 12:13) [Calvin]. The former is perhaps the preferable view (compare Jer 49:7). The latter, however, describes better Zion’s kingless state during her present long dispersion (Hos 3:4, Hos 3:5).
