Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 11:5

_ _ He shall not return into ... Egypt — namely, to seek help against Assyria (compare Hosea 7:11), as Israel lately had done (2 Kings 17:4), after having revolted from Assyria, to whom they had been tributary from the times of Menahem (2 Kings 15:19). In a figurative sense, “he shall return to Egypt” (Hosea 9:3), that is, to Egypt-like bondage; also many Jewish fugitives were literally to return to Egypt, when the Holy Land was to be in Assyrian and Chaldean hands.

_ _ Assyrian shall be his king — instead of having kings of their own, and Egypt as their auxiliary.

_ _ because they refused to return — just retribution. They would not return (spiritually) to God, therefore they shall not return (corporally) to Egypt, the object of their desire.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 11:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 11:5

He — Ephraim. Shall be king — Shall rule them with rigour and cruelty. They refused — The reason of all is, their obstinacy in idolatry.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hosea 11:5

He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his (d) king, because they refused to return.

(d) Seeing that they condemn all this kindness, they will be led captive into Assyria.
