But why was Jeroboam named at all?
This is of great use. You shall find that it was for this end, that you might understand what estate the people of Israel were in at this time of Hosea's Prophecy. Much you shall see is to be learned from hence. The state of the people of Israel in the time of Jeroboam's reign was very prosperous, though their wickedness was very great. For if you look into 2 K. 14. you shall find there, that a little before this they had been in very great distress, and under sore afflictions: Now in Jeroboam's time they were in the greatest prosperity that ever they had been in: for this Jeroboam was not the first Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that caused Israel to sin, and was a means of the rent of these Ten Tribes from the house of David, that was 140. years and more before this; but this Jeroboam, in whose time God sent Hosea to prophesy this great wrath against the house of Israel, was the son of Joash. Now in all this time this Kingdom was never in a more prosperous condition then in the days of this Jeroboam.
