The word of the Lord (Yahweh) that came to [the prophet] Hosea (Hebr. Hoshea; meaning: salvation), son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah (Hebr. Uzzijaho) [10th ruler of the Southern Kingdom; reigned 788-736 BC], Jotham [11th ruler of the Southern Kingdom; reigned approx. 758-742 BC, first ten years together with his leprous father (2 Chron. 26:21), then alone, and finally three years with his son Ahaz], Ahaz [12th ruler of the Southern Kingdom; reigned c. 742-726 BC, the last years together with his son Hezekiah] and Hezekiah (Hebr. Jechizqijah) [13th king of the Southern Kingdom; reigned 726-697 BC] were kings of Judah [the Southern Kingdom] and the days when Jeroboam [the second, reigned 793-753 BC] was king of Israel [the 13th king of the Northern Kingdom]. [Hosea served as a prophet in the northern kingdom for about 40 years (760-722 BC). Only Jeroboam II of the northern kingdom is mentioned here. The last six kings are: Zechariah, Shallum, Menahem, Pekahiah, Pekah, and Hosea. They reigned from about 750 to 722 BC, when the capital Samaria was captured by the Assyrian ruler Sargon II and the population of the country was deported to Assyria.]
