Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 23:5

_ _ when ... mine — literally, “under Me,” that is, subject to Me as her lawful husband.

_ _ neighbours — On the northeast the kingdom of Israel bordered on that of Assyria; for the latter had occupied much of Syria. Their neighborhood in locality was emblematical of their being near in corruption of morals and worship. The alliances of Israel with Assyria, which are the chief subject of reprobation here, tended to this (2 Kings 15:19; 2 Kings 16:7, 2 Kings 16:9; 2 Kings 17:3; Hosea 8:9).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 23:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 23:5

Played the harlot — United in idolatry, with the Assyrians. Mine — When under my government, and protection.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezekiel 23:5

And Aholah played the harlot when (d) she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours,

(d) When the Israelites were named the people of God, they became idolaters and forsook God, and put their trust in the Assyrians.
