These used her as lewd women deserve, stripped her naked, and exposed her to shame, as Eze_23:26. God her Husband had clothed her, and covered her nakedness, but she lightly esteemed her God, doted on idols, and idolaters strip her.
They took her sons and her daughters; made them captives, and carried them away as slaves, to serve the lusts of barbarous conquerors; so both sexes were used.
Slew her with the sword: as a person slain with the sword ceaseth to be, so this kingdom of Israel under Hoshea was by the sword of Shalmaneser utterly destroyed.
She became famous; her lewdness made her infamous, and God’s judgments for it made her more known in the world.
For they, the Assyrians, a proud, bitter, and violent enemy,
had executed judgment upon her; had executed their own malicious revenges, but God’s just displeasure, upon her.
