EXPLANATION

Verse 18. Sight, as objects of horror, cast away from the temple, and from the promised land.—Tribe, or kingdom. See 3 Kennicott. 12:20. Israel began to be rejected by God, when the schism took place. Bible.—It was entirely lost, when Salmanasar took the people into captivity. Some few were left; and these formed a part of the kingdom of Josias, on their returning to the service of the true God, (2 Chronicles 24:6) while others fled into Egypt. Osee 8:13 and 9:3. Calmet.
