Chapter 10 describes how God prospered Israel and how she took that wealth and poured it out on the alters to heathen gods. The Lord will take down their heathen altars and smash their heathen gods and they will know why He did it but they will not care. The people of Samaria will tremble less their god-calf god be destroyed. For this they will go as slaves to Assyria as a present to their great King. Ever since that awful night at Gibeah there has been only sin,sin,sin. At Gibeah the Israelites had the opportunity to completely destroy the Canaanites but did not as a result they, by intermarriage, became a part of that pagan culture. "I will come against you for your sins." "I will gather the armies of the nations against you to punish you for your sins." "Ephraim is accustom to easy jobs but now I will harness her to the plow and the harrow." "Her days of ease are gone."
