A child born to Hosea (prophet) and Gomer (Hosea's wife). She was given a name symbolizing rebellious Israel.
Hos 1:4Then the Lord said to Hosea, “Call him Jezreel, for I will soon punish the house of Jehu for the bloodshed at Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.Hos 1:5In that day I will break Israel’s bow in the Valley of Jezreel.”Hos 1:6Gomer conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. Then the Lord said to Hosea, “Call her Lo-Ruhamah, for I will no longer show love to the people of Israel, nor will I forgive them.Hos 1:7Yet I will show love to the people of Judah; I will save them—not by bow, sword or battle, or by horses and their riders, but by the Lord their God.”Hos 1:8After Gomer had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and gave birth to a son.Hos 1:9Then the Lord said, “Call him Lo-Ammi, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.
However, later God promises restoration and changes her name to Ruhamah.
Hos 2:1“Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’
