Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - Because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them (compare the expanded version of this statement in 2 Kings 17:7-23). The sin of Samaria may be summed up under three heads: (1) disobedience; (2) breach of the covenant; and (3) disregard of Moses, and the other "servants of the Lord."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Because they obeyed not . . .--Thenius calls this remark, which properly belongs to the historical abstract from which the compiler drew the narrative of 2Kings 18:1-12, "the theme" which suggested the reflections of 2Kings 17:7-23. They may have been suggested by passages of the Law and Prophets.And all.--Omit and, with all the versions. "All that Moses . . . commanded" is in apposition with "his covenant."And would not . . . do them.--Literally, and hearkened not, and did not.
