Wesley's Notes for Hosea 13:3

13:1 Ephraim - The ten tribes, of which Ephraim was the chief. Spake trembling - Humbled himself before God. Exalted himself - The kingdom flourished. When he offended - So soon as they sinned, taking Baal to be their God. He died - They lost their power and glory.

13:2 Of them - Of the idols. Let the man - Let all that bring their offerings to these idols, worship and adore, and shew they do so by kissing the calves.

13:4 Thou shalt know - I forbad thee to know any other God but me, in gratitude thou shouldest know no other.

13:5 I did know - Owned, took care of, guided and supplied.
