Contextual Overview
1 The word of the Lord came to me. He said, 2 "Son of man, listen to this story about Samaria and Jerusalem. There were two sisters, daughters of the same mother. 3 They became prostitutes in Egypt while they were still young girls. That's where they first let men touch and handle their young breasts. 4 The older daughter was named Oholah, and her sister was named Oholibah. They became my wives, and we had children. I am using the name Oholah to mean Samaria and the name Oholibah to mean Jerusalem. 5 "Then Oholah became unfaithful to me—she began to live like a prostitute. She began to want her lovers. She saw the Assyrian soldiers 6 in their blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men riding horses. They were leaders and officers, 7 and Oholah gave herself to all those men. All of them were handpicked soldiers in the Assyrian army, and she wanted them all! She became filthy with their filthy idols. 8 Besides that, she never stopped her love affair with Egypt. Egypt made love to her when she was a young girl. Egypt was the first lover to touch her young breasts. Egypt poured his untrue love on her. 9 So I let her lovers have her. She wanted Assyria, so I gave her to them! 10 They raped her. They took her children and killed her. They punished her, and women still talk about her.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
These discovered her wickedness,.... That is, stripped them of all their substance:
they took her sons and her daughters; and carried them captive:
and slew her with the sword; put an end to the kingdom of Israel, or the ten tribes, and which was never recovered to this day:
and she became famous among women; or among the provinces, as the Targum; she became famous, or rather infamous, among other nations; was talked of for her sins, her whoredoms and idolatries, and the vengeance of God upon her for them; she became a byword and a proverb among the kingdoms of the world for her wickedness and her destruction:
for they had executed judgment upon her; that is, the Assyrians, who were the instruments in God's hand in doing justice to her, and inflicting his judgments on her, and for that she became famous.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Famous - Or, “infamous among women;” literally as in the margin, i. e., a byword among women.
