Matthew Poole and continuators on Hosea 1:3

3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim , which conceived and bare him a son .

As commanded, so he did, whether you take it parabolically or literally.

If you take it literally, this Gomer will be some known harlot, and perhaps she was famous for her beauty, and skill in the Curtisans Art, as her name may import. If you take it as a parable, we must take this name for a made name assumed for its signification; both in the best sense Israel was perfect with the perfection which God did put upon her, Ezek. 16.14. he made her Gomer; and in the worst sense she had made her self Gomer, one who was drawing to her end, who had undone and consumed her self, thus the word, Psal. 12.1. and so in one word, Gods bounty and Mercy, and Israels ingratitude and sin is set forth, together with her punishment hastening upon her.

Literally understood, this Diblaim must be either Father or Mother of this Gomer, or else the name of the place where she was born. Parabolically understood, Diblaim, bunches of dried figs, may imply the deliciousness of her provision made of God, such as was made for great Feasts. 1 Sam. 25.18. so 1 Chron. 12.40. thus 'twill sute chap. 2.5, 9. and the places where the Fig is mentioned as fruit with which God had blessed Israel. All which abused to Luxury and sin, will now make her a daughter of Diblaim, of wilderness, desolate.

This seems to favour the literal acception of all this as really done, and not onely as represented in Vision, Parable or Hiemglyphic. But while either way it will be well apply'd to the purpose in hand, I shall leave it to the choice of every judicious Reader, to interpret and apply as best likes him.
