Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 2:8

_ _ she did not know that I — not the idols, as she thought: the “lovers” alluded to in Hosea 2:5.

_ _ which they prepared for Baal — that is, of which they made images of Baal, or at least the plate covering of them (Hosea 8:4). Baal was the Phoenician sun-god: answering to the female Astarte, the moon-goddess. The name of the idol is found in the Phoenician Hannibal, Hasdrubal. Israel borrowed it from the Tyrians.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 2:6-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 2:8

Did not know — Did not consider. They — The body of the Jews. Prepared — Dedicated to the service of the idol.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hosea 2:8

For she did not know that I (k) gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for Baal.

(k) This declares that idolaters defraud God of his honour, when they attribute his benefits to their idols.
