Ezekiel23:4

Ver. 4. And the names of them were Aholah] i. e. Her Tent, not mine (ſo he calleth Samaria or the ten tribes) what have I to do with it or her? Confer 1 King. 12.16, 28, 31. She is gone to her Tent, and hath ſet her up Tabernacles, where to worſhip her golden idols.

The Elder] So called becauſe more numerous and potent then the other two tribes. She was alſo firſt in the defection.

And Aholibah] That is my tent is in her. So Jeruſalem is called, becauſe the Temple and Teſtimonies of Gods ſpecial preſence were there, as King Abijah well pleadeth it, 2 Chron. 13.10, 11.

Samariah is Aholah] In figure ſhe is: though ſome have held that theſe were the name of two notorious ſtrumpets in Egypt.
