Matthew Poole and continuators on Hosea 13:11

11 I gave thee a king in mine anger , and I took him away in my wrath .

Such as Shallum, Menahem, Pekah, &c. but in displeasure against you.

The Hebrew says not what, I think, their Kings mentioned.

God was angry when he gave such Kings to Israel, and he was no better pleased when he took them away; they were punishments when given, and [illegible: 1 letter]twas punishment to Israel when they were taken away. If you read the eleventh verse in the future tense as you may, I will give them a King in my anger, it may refer to Gods giving the King of Assyria the rule over them, making them his vassals, and I will take away, i. e. you, O Israelites! in my wrath, I will destroy some and send others into Captivity, take all away out of your Land, and send you in wrath to the Grave or Captives into Assyria.
