| Hosea 10:14 | A tumult shall arise among thy people: and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as *Salmana was destroyed by the house of him that judged Baal in the day of battle, the mother being dashed in pieces upon her children. Judges 8:12. | Tumult. Hebrew shaon; the din of war, (Haydock) or cry of soldiers. (Calmet) ---Salmana, king of the Madianites, was destroyed by the house; that is, by the followers of him that judgeth Baal; that is, of Gideon, who threw down the altar of Baal, and was therefore called Jerobaal. See Judges vi. and viii. (Challoner) --- Of him. Roman Septuagint, "of Jeroboam." But St. Jerome, etc., have, Jerobaal. Theodoret, "in the house of Arbeel." Hebrew, "as Salmana ruined the house of Arbela." There were many places of this name; but none of great note, taken by Salmanasar. Some think that he took it before he was king. Yet this is all uncertain, and the Hebrew seems rather changed, so that we should read with the Alexandrian manuscript. St. Jerome, etc., Jerobaal, who defeated the Madianites, and treated Succoth with great severity, Judges 8:15. (Calmet) |
