There are two stories in the book which parallel each other. One is the adulterous wife and a faithful husband, while the other is the adulterous nation and the faithful God. The first illustrates the second. Israel had turned away from God and was openly practising idol worship. God however was merciful to them, lovingly maintaining His committment despite their rejection of Him.

It is recorded in the first chapter of the book of Hosea that Hosea had three children from Gomer the daughter of Diblaim. He had two sons, Jezreel and Loammi and a daughter, Loruhamah.
Who wrote the Book of Hosea?
The Book of Hosea, in verse 1:1, states that it was written by Hosea, son of Beeri, in the days of the kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah of Judah. The wording is reminiscent of the corresponding signature of the Book of Isaiah, suggesting that one of the authors was influenced by the other, or that the signature verse was added long after the book was written. Michaela Davey ('Mastering Theology') suggests that the Book of Hosea was written before the time of King Josiah, because it mentions the flight from Egypt, but not Moses, as well as mentioning the shrines of Isaac and the people of Isaac, but not Abraham. Thus we can not really be sure whether Hosea wrote the book, or some other, unknown author. ======================================================= Hosea was the son of Beeri, a prophet in Israel in the 8th century BC and author of the book of prophecies bearing his name.
