Yechezkel 23:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:10

These discovered her wickedness
That is, stripped them of all their substance: they took her sons and her daughters;
and carried them captive: and slew her with the sword;
put an end to the kingdom of Israel, or the ten tribes, and which was never recovered to this day: and she became famous among women;
or among the provinces, as the Targum; she became famous, or rather infamous, among other nations; was talked of for her sins, her whoredoms and idolatries, and the vengeance of God upon her for them; she became a byword and a proverb among the kingdoms of the world for her wickedness and her destruction: for they had executed judgment upon her;
that is, the Assyrians, who were the instruments in God's hand in doing justice to her, and inflicting his judgments on her, and for that she became famous.

Yechezkel 23:10 In-Context

8 Neither did she give up her zonah harlotry brought from Mitzrayim; for in her youth they lay with her, and they caressed her betulah bosom, and poured out their zenut fornication upon her.
9 Therefore I have delivered her into the yad of her lovers, into the yad of the Bnei Ashur, upon whom she lusted.
10 These uncovered her ervah (nakedness); they took her banim and her banot, and slaughtered her with the cherev; and she became a shem (byword) among nashim; for they had executed judgments upon her.
11 And when her achot Oholivah saw this, she was more depraved in her craving than she, her zonah harlotry became worse than the zonah harlotry of her achot.
12 She lusted after the Bnei Ashur warriors, pachot and seganim, clothed most gorgeously, parashim driving susim, all of them desirable bochurim.
