Hosea 10:9

Failure to Learn from the Sin and Judgment of Gibeah

10:9 O Israel, you have sinned since the time ¹  of Gibeah,

and there you have remained.

Did not war overtake the evildoers in Gibeah?

Hosea 10:14

Bethel Will Be Destroyed Like Beth Arbel

10:14 The roar of battle will rise against your people;

all your fortresses will be devastated,

just as Shalman devastated ²  Beth Arbel on the day of battle,

when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.

[10:9]  ¹ tn Heb “days” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[10:14]  ² tn Heb “as the devastation of Shalman.” The genitive noun שַׁלְמַן (shalman, “Shalman”) functions as a subjective genitive: “as Shalman devastated [Beth Arbel].”
