Contextual Overview

8Blow the horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah [the lofty hills on Benjamin's northern border]. Sound the alarm at Beth-aven: "Behind you and coming after you [is the enemy], O Benjamin [be on guard]!" 9Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is certain. 10The princes of Judah are like those who move a boundary marker; I will pour out My wrath on them like [an unrestrained flood of] water. 11Ephraim is oppressed; he is broken and crushed by [divine] judgment, Because he was determined to follow man's command (vanities, filth, secular precepts).12Therefore I am like a moth to Ephraim And like dry rot to the house of Judah [in My judgment against them]. 13When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria [instead of the LORD] And sent to [Assyria's] great King Jareb [for help]. But he cannot heal you Nor will he cure you of your wound [received in judgment]. 14For I will be like a lion to Ephraim And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear to pieces and go on [tearing]; I will carry off [the prey] and there will be no one to rescue them. 15I will go away and return to My place [on high] Until they acknowledge their offense and bear their guilt and seek My face; In their distress they will earnestly seek Me, saying,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ephraim [is] oppressed, [and] broken in judgment,.... Here the prophet again returns to the ten tribes, who were oppressed and broken, either by their own judgments, as the Targum; by the tyranny of their kings, and the injustice of their judges, who looked only for the mammon of unrighteousness; or by the judgment of their enemies, the Assyrians, the taxes they laid upon them, the devastations they made among them, and by whom, at last, they were carried captive; or by the judgments of God upon them; for all the enemy did was by his permission, and according to his will:

because he willingly walked after the commandment; not after the commandment of God, but after the commandment of men, as Aben Ezra; or after the commandment of the prophets of Baal, as Jarchi; or after the commandment of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, as Kimchi, by worshipping the calves at Dan and Bethel he set up there.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment - Literally, “crushed in judgment.” Holy Scripture, elsewhere also, “combines” these same two words, rendered “oppressed” and “crushed,” in speaking of man’s oppression by man. Ephraim preferred man’s commands and laws to God’s; they obeyed man and set God at nought; therefore they should suffer at man’s hands, who, while he equally neglected God’s will, enforced his own. The “commandment,” which “Ephraim willingly went after,” was doubtless that of Jeroboam; “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought you out of the land of Egypt; and Jeroboam ordained a feast unto the children of Israel” 1 Kings 12:28, 1 Kings 12:32-33. Through this “commandment,” Jeroboam earned the dreadful title, “who made Israel to sin.” And Israel “went willingly after it,” for it is said; “This thing became a sin; and the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan:” i. e., while they readily accepted Jeroboam’s plea. It “is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem,” they “went willingly” to the Northernmost point of Palestine, “even to Dan.” For this sin, God judged them justly, even through the unjust judgment of man. God mostly punishes, through their own choice, those who choose against His. The Jews said, “we have no king but Caesar,” and Caesar destroyed them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Hosea 5:11. Walked after the commandment. — Jeroboam's commandment to worship his calves at Dan and Beth-el. Many of them were not forced to do this, they did it willingly.
