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 ) .
