Hosea 13:11

9 “O Israel,¹ you are destroyed,
But¹ your help is from Me.

10 ¹I will be your King;
^aWhere is any other,
That he may save you in all your cities?
And your judges to whom ^byou said,
‘Give me a king and princes’?

11 ^aI gave you a king in My anger,
And took him away in My wrath.

12 “The^a iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;
His sin is stored up.

13 ^aThe sorrows of a woman in childbirth shall come upon him.
He is an unwise son,
For he should not stay long where children are born.

Hosea 13:11

I gave thee a king in mine anger - Such was Saul; for they highly offended God when they clamoured to have a king like the heathen nations that were around them.

Took him away in my wrath - Permitted him and the Israelites to fall before the Philistines. Others think that Shalmaneser was the king thus given, and Hoshea the king thus taken away.
