Ezekiel 23:4 Context
2Sonne of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. 3And they committed whordomes in Egypt, they committed whordomes in their youth: there were their brests pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginitie. 4And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, & they bare sonnes and daughters: thus were their names: Samaria is Aholah, and Ierusalem Aholibah. 5And Aholah played the harlot, when she was mine, & she doted on her louers, on the Assyrians her neighbors, 6Which were clothed with blew, captaines and rulers, all of them desireable yong men, horsemen riding vpon horses.

Wesley's Notes for Ezekiel 23:4
23:4 Aholah - That is, his own tabernacle; for Israel falling off from the house of David, fell off from the tabernacle, or temple of God; so that all the temple they had was of their own making. The elder - Greater for number of tribes, and for power, wealth, and for multitudes of people. Aholibah - That is, my tabernacle in her: the two tribes had the temple of God with them. Mine - By solemn marriage - covenant. Bare sons - Were fruitful and brought forth children to me; they increased in numbers of people; and among these, some there were that were children of God by faith, love, and obedience.
