Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ephraim is smitten,.... The people of the ten tribes, the kingdom of Israel, who had been like a tree planted in a pleasant place, Hosea 9:13; and were in very flourishing circumstances in the times of Jeroboam the second; but now were like a tree smitten with thunder and lightning, or hail stones, and beat to pieces; or with the heat of the sun, or with blasting winds, or by worms; as in the succeeding reigns, by the judgments of God upon them; by civil wars, conspiracies, and murders among themselves; and by the exactions of Pul and depredations of Tiglathpileser kings of Assyria; and quickly would be smitten again; the present being put for the future, because of the certainty of it, as usual in prophetic writings; or be utterly destroyed by Shalmaneser, and be no more a kingdom:
their root is dried up; like the root of a tree that has no sap and moisture in it, and can communicate none to the body and branches of the tree, which in course must die. This may be understood of their king, princes, nobles, and chief men, the support and strength of the nations; and of parents and heads of families, cut off by one judgment or another:
they shall bear no fruit; as a tree thus smitten, and its root dried up, cannot; so neither, this being their case, there would be none to beget, nor any to bear children, and bring them forth; called the fruit of the womb, in allusion to the fruit of trees:
yea, though they bring forth; though some of them should be spared, women with their husbands, and should procreate children:
yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb; their children they should bring forth, on whom their affections were strongly set; and the rather, as they were but few, and from whom they had raised expectations of building up their families; even these the Lord would stay, or suffer to be slain, either by the sword of the enemy, or by famine, or by pestilence, or by some disease or another; so that there should be no hope of a future posterity, at least of no great number of them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Ephraim is smitten - The prophet, under the image of a tree, repeats the same sentence of God upon Israel. The word âsmittenâ is used of the smiting of the tree from above, especially by the visitation of God, as by âblastingâ and âmildewâ Amos 4:9. Yet such smiting, although it falls heavily for the time, leaves hope for the future. He adds then, âtheir root isâ also âwithered,â so that âthey should bear no fruit;â or if, perchance, while the root was still drying up and not quite dead, any fruit he yet found, âyet will I slay,â God says, âthe beloved,â fruit âof their womb,â the desired fruit of their bodies, that which their souls longed for. : âSo long as they have children, and multiply the fruit of the womb, they think that they bear fruit, they deem not that âtheir root is dried,â or that they have been severed by the axe of excision, and ârooted out of the land of the living;â but, in the anguish at the âslayingâ of those they most loved, they shall say, better had it been to have had no children.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Hosea 9:16. Ephraim is smitten — The thing being determined, it is considered as already done.
Their root is dried up — They shall never more be a kingdom. And they never had any political form from their captivity by the Assyrians to the present day.
Yea, though they bring forth — Hosea 9:11; "Hosea 9:12".
