Vers. 1. Hear ye this, O Priests; and hearken ye house of Israel, and give ear Oh house of the King, for judgment is towards you, because ye have been a snare in Mispah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
IN this Chapter we have the summoning of all sorts unto judgment.1 A heavy charge laid and condemnation pronounced against Israel, and Judah too brought in as guilty and sentence past upon her also; And at last the good effect that the judgments of God should produce is showed. That is the sum of the Chapter.

- 1The sum of the Chapter
This Chapter is the beginning of another Sermon of Hosea. 1It seems to be preached (as some think) in the reign of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, that you read of in 2 King. 15.2 and especially toward the end of his reign, which was the same time that Ahaz reigned in Judah, when that horrible confusion was brought into Religion, much defilement in the Worship of God, he having placed the Altar that he brought the fashion of from Damascus in the house of God; therefore the Lord inveigheth by his Prophet not only against Israel, but against Judah here.
