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 ) .

11 "Her sister Jerusalem saw what happened, but she became worse than her sister in her sexual desire and prostitution.

12 She also desired the Assyrians, who were all soldiers in beautiful uniforms -- handsome young captains and lieutenants riding horses.

13 I saw that both girls were alike; both were prostitutes.
