Touch not the unclean thing, and I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and My daughters. The long tragedy which ended in the destruction of the Northern Kingdom by Assyrian invasion was already beginning to develop in Hosea's time. The mistaken politics of the kings of Israel led them to seek an ally where they should have dreaded an enemy.
Miriam, however, heard from Nun, Hosea's father, that Eliab, the freedman whom he had left behind, had informed him that his son would be ready to join his people. She also learned that the wounded Ephraim had found shelter in his uncle's tent. Was the lad's illness serious, or what other cause detained Hosea in Tanis?
Within a few short hours he should again see his beloved, noble father, who had needed great deliberation and much persuasion from Hosea's mother long since dead ere he would permit his son to follow the bent of his inclinations and enter upon a military life in Pharaoh's army.
It brings us into closer relations with him. That must suffice. Farewell until this evening. Meanwhile, will you extend your hospitality to Hosea's nephew and commend him to your fair daughter's nursing; he seems in sore need of care." The house of Hornecht, like nearly every other dwelling in the city, was the scene of the deepest mourning.
The sight of the hapless pair placed Hosea's own terrible future before him as if in a mirror, and for the first time he groaned aloud and covered his face with his hands. The captain of the guards perceived this and, touched by the horror of the man whose resolution had hitherto seemed peerless, called to him: "They don't all come home like that, no indeed!"
Lightfoot, looking a little anxious, put forward a hearty assent; but the Governor laughed and threw back the Major's hospitality as easily as it was proffered. "I know that your welcome's big enough to hold us, my dear Major," he said; "but Hosea's driving us, you see, and he could take us along the turnpike blindfold.
In the Jewish cemetery of the town it stood still, and there Hosea was buried in the presence of a large concourse. The prophetical activity of Amos commenced after Hosea's had closed, and before Isaiah's began.
She had bestowed caresses on him, too, but these were only the crumbs that fell from Hosea's table, a robbery he confessed it with a blush he had perpetrated on his uncle, yet he felt offended, insulted, deceived, and consumed to his inmost soul with fierce jealousy on behalf of his uncle, whom he honored, nay, loved, though he had opposed his wishes. And Hosea?
But, on the third day after Hosea's return, Hornecht had gone to talk with him and since then everything had changed for the worse. He must be best aware what had caused the man of whom she, his daughter, must think no evil, to be changed from a friend to a mortal foe.
