Hosea 13:11

‘I have given you a king in my anger,

And have taken him away in my wrath.'

For the truth was that their king had been given to them by a God angry at their ways, and now in His wrath He had taken him away from them, as a lion or leopard or bear takes its prey. Israel's initial king had been given to them in anger (1 Samuel 8), and whilst David had been God's chosen one, all the following kings of Israel had failed YHWH, had fallen into idolatry, and had been bad news from YHWH, the result of their own disobedience to YHWH. But Israel had no excuse, for they also had been chasing idols and had got what they deserved.
