Hosea 9:15

All their wickedness—that is, their chief guilt.

Gilgal—(see on Hosea 4:15). This was the scene of their first contumacy in rejecting God and choosing a king (I Samuel 11:14-15; compare I Samuel 8:7), and of their subsequent idolatry.

out of mine house—as in Hosea 8:1 : out of the land holy unto ME. Or, as "love" is mentioned immediately after, the reference may be to the Hebrew mode of divorce, the husband (God) putting the wife (Israel) out of the house.

princes . . . revolters—"Sarim . . . Sorerim" (Hebrew), a play on similar sounds.
