Verse 10
The people had formerly asked their leaders to give them a king like all the other nations. They hoped that their king and his princes would provide deliverance for them. God had given them kings, first Saul (1 Samuel 8:4-9; 1 Samuel 12:12) and more recently the kings of Israel that were not of David’s line but were kings of the people’s own choosing (1 Kings 12:16-20). Yet all these kings had proved ineffective in saving the Israelites. Only Yahweh was their savior (Hosea 13:4).
