Ezekiel 23:44 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:44

Yet they went in unto her
Made a league with one another, and joined in idolatrous worship: as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot;
with the same heat of lust, with the same greediness and eager desire as young men do when they go into a brothel house where a beautiful harlot lives: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah; the lewd women,
the ten tribes of Israel, and the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, which apostatized from God, and committed idolatry; with these the Sabeans before mentioned, and other nations, joined in idolatrous worship.
