HOSEA—NOTE ON Hosea 3:5 To call David their king is significant for the northern kingdom, which has been rebelling against the house of David for two centuries. They must return in order to be full participants in God’s covenant with David (2 Samuel 7:8). It is from the house of David that the ultimate king for God’s people will come, as indicated by the term the latter days (see Isaiah 2:2). God has a glorious future in store for his people.
