7:3-7 The northern kingdom of Israel saw a succession of seven different kings during the final twenty-five years of its existence, four of whom were assassinated by usurpers. This passage refers to the vicious and bloody political intrigue that characterized these years. 7:3 The prophet did not record the name of this king, but many believe he was Hoshea, the northern kingdom’s last monarch.
