Context — Hoshea the Last King of Israel
1In the twelfth year of the reign of Ahaz over Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria nine years.
2And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.
3Shalmaneser king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute. 4But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea had conspired to send envoys to King So of Egypt, and that he had not paid tribute to the king of Assyria as in previous years. Therefore the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea and put him in prison.Cross References

So the couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his officials, which read: “Children of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that He may return to those of you who remain, who have escaped the grasp of the kings of Assyria. Do not be like your fathers and brothers who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He made them an object of horror, as you can see. Now do not stiffen your necks as your fathers did. Submit to the LORD and come to His sanctuary, which He has consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God, so that His fierce anger will turn away from you. For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and sons will receive mercy in the presence of their captors and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.” And the couriers traveled from city to city through the land of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun; but the people scorned and mocked them.

2 Kings 17:2 Summary
This verse tells us that Hoshea, the king of Israel, did some bad things that made God unhappy, but not as bad as what the previous kings had done. It's like when we make mistakes, but we're not as bad as someone else who made even bigger mistakes. However, God still sees our sins and wants us to follow Him completely, as encouraged in Matthew 5:48. We can learn from Hoshea's example to always try to do what's right and please God, and to remember that He is always watching over us, as stated in Psalm 33:18.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that Hoshea did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him?
This means that while Hoshea still sinned and disobeyed God, his actions were not as wicked as those of the previous kings of Israel, who had committed even greater evils, as seen in 2 Kings 15:24 and 2 Kings 15:28.
How can we learn from Hoshea's example in our own lives?
We can learn from Hoshea that even small compromises or sins can lead us away from God, as warned in Deuteronomy 12:29-31, and that we must strive to follow God's commands completely, as encouraged in Joshua 1:7-8.
What is the significance of the phrase 'in the sight of the LORD' in this verse?
The phrase 'in the sight of the LORD' emphasizes that God is always watching and judging our actions, as stated in Proverbs 15:3, and that we will be held accountable for our sins, as warned in Romans 14:12.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the chapter?
This verse sets the stage for the rest of the chapter, which describes the consequences of Hoshea's sins and the eventual downfall of Israel, as a fulfillment of the warnings given in Deuteronomy 28:49-50 and Leviticus 26:33.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I might be 'doing evil' in my own life, even if it seems small or insignificant to me?
- How can I ensure that I am following God's commands and living a life that is pleasing to Him, as encouraged in Colossians 1:10?
- What are some areas where I might be compromising or sinning, and how can I turn away from those things and towards God, as exhorted in 1 Peter 1:14-16?
- What does it mean to live 'in the sight of the LORD', and how can I cultivate a sense of awareness and accountability to God in my daily life, as encouraged in Psalm 139:23-24?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 17:2
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 17:2
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD but not as the kings of Israel that were before And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:2
For he neither worshipped Baal, as many of his predecessors did; nor compelled the people to worship the calves; one of them, that of Dan, being destroyed, or carried away before, as the Hebrew writers affirm; nor, as some add, hindered those by force who were minded to go to Jerusalem to worship; and yet, the measure of the Israelites’ sins being now full, vengeance comes upon them without remedy: compare .
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:2
2 Kings 17:2 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.Ver. 2. But not as the kings of Israel that were before him.] For he suffered his subjects to go up to the passover celebrated by Hezekiah when he invited them, and to worship the Lord as they thought meet. Sulpitius Severus therefore is out when he saith of Hoshea, Hic ultra omnes superiores reges impius, &c.; this king being wicked above all that went before him, procured to himself punishment from God, and to his nation perpetual captivity. For he was better than his predecessors, as here appeareth; and the iniquity of the people was now full. It is not the last sand that exhausteth the hour glass, nor the last stroke of the axe that felleth the tree; so here.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:2
(2) But not as the kings of Israel that were before him.—The preceding phrase is used of all the northern kings but Shallum, who only reigned a month, and had no time for the display of his religious policy. We can hardly assume that Hoshea abandoned the calf-worship of Bethel, but he may have discountenanced the cultus of the Baals and Asheras. The Seder Olam states that Hoshea did not replace the calf of Bethel, which, it assumes, had been carried off by the Assyrians in accordance with the prophecy of Hosea (Hosea 10:5). We may remember that the last sovereigns of falling monarchies have not always been the worst of their line—e.g., Charles I. or Louis XVI.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 17:2
2. but not as the kings of Israel that were before him] We have no record of the doings of Hoshea, so as to specify in what points he was better than his predecessors. A long persistence in evil doing had however corrupted the whole nation, and the cutting short which had begun under the house of Jehu (2 Kings 10:32) was now very nearly completed.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 17:2
Not as the kings of Israel that were before him - The repentance of a nation like that of an individual, may be “too late.” God is long-suffering; but after national sins have reached a certain
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 17:2
2. Not as the kings of Israel that were before him — “It looks,” says Ewald, “like the bitter irony of fate that this Hoshea, who was to be the last king, was a better one than any of his predecessors.
