About Hoshea Written by AI
Hoshea is mentioned in Nehemiah 10:23 as one of the leaders of the people who signed the covenant to follow the Law of God during the time of Nehemiah. This covenant was a solemn agreement made by the Israelites to obey God's commandments, separate themselves from the surrounding nations, and support the temple service. The signing of the covenant was a significant event in the history of Israel, as it marked a renewed commitment to God and His laws after the Babylonian exile. The leaders who signed the covenant, including Hoshea, represented the various families and groups within the Jewish community. By signing the covenant, Hoshea and the other leaders publicly declared their dedication to God and their willingness to lead the people in obedience to His commandments. This act of commitment was essential for the spiritual and social renewal of the Jewish community as they sought to reestablish themselves in the land of Israel.

(3.) The last king of Israel. He conspired against and slew his predecessor, Pekah (Isa. 7:16), but did not ascend the throne till after an interregnum of warfare of eight years (2 Kings 17:1, 2). Soon after this he submitted to Shalmaneser, the Assyrian king, who a second time invaded the land to punish Hoshea, because of his withholding tribute which he had promised to pay. A second revolt brought back the Assyrian king Sargon, who besieged Samaria, and carried the ten tribes away beyond the Euphrates, B.C. 720 (2 Kings 17:5, 6; 18:9-12). No more is heard of Hoshea. He disappeared like “foam upon the water” (Hos. 10:7; 13:11).
