The attested use identifies a king in two Hosea scenes involving Ephraim and Assyria: one concerns sending to the king for help, and the other an offering conducted to him.

Senses in use

  1. A king in Assyrian-related scenes · dominant

    In Hosea 5:13, the proper noun occurs where Ephraim goes to Assyria and sends to the king, though healing does not result. In Hosea 10:6, it occurs where an offering is conducted to Assyria for the king; the APB renders both clauses with “the great king.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the referent as “the great king” in both Hosea 5:13 and Hosea 10:6. This wording confirms the clauses' presentation without isolating every detail of the term's contribution.
