This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
As they; Moses and Aaron, and other prophets, and holy, zealous judges and priests, as Samuel, &c.
Called; advised, persuaded, entreated, and urged by exhortations.
Them; the whole house of Israel, and among these the ten tribes, or Ephraim.
So they Israelites, called and entreated, especially they of that age when the division was made, and ever since.
Went from; frowardly and most disingenuously apostatized more and more, as the prophet, Isa_1:5. Horrible ingratitude so to requite God!
From them; from the prophets’ counsel and commands, delivered as they came from God.
They sacrificed unto Baalim; in the desert they began this apostacy, joined themselves to Baal-peor, Num_25:3, and worshipped the calf, Exo_32:4-6, and held on with obstinacy in it.
Graven images; images of their gods, before which they performed another part of religious worship, burning incense before them.
