Ezekiel 23:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:11

And when her sister Aholibah saw this
The two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, when, they saw the idolatries the ten tribes fell into, and the destruction which came upon them for the same; instead of receiving instruction, and taking caution by all this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she;
in courting the friendship, alliance, and help of their Heathen neighbours: and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms;
guilty of more idolatries than the ten tribes, as in the times of Manasseh; see ( Jeremiah 2:28 ) .

Ezekiel 23:11 In-Context

9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the {Assyrians} {after whom she lusted}.

10 They uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. And she became a name for the women, and they executed judgments against her.

11 "And though Oholibah her sister saw, yet in her lust {she behaved more corruptly than her}, and her whoring [was] more than the prostitution of her sister.

12 She lusted after the {Assyrians}, governors and prefects, warriors clothed in perfection, {expert horsemen}, all of them {handsome young men}.

13 And I saw that she was defiled; {they had both taken the same path}!
